SIBA BEERX special | We Are Beer People

03/29/24 • 41 min

Welcome to We Are Beer People - a podcast all about the many different people who help us enjoy beer.

Today we have a special episode where I headed to SIBA's (the Society of Independent Brewers and Associates) annual AGM conference and exhibition, BeerX, in Liverpool where I got to meet many of the fantastic beer people.

It includes brewers, suppliers, associates as well as speakers and is one of the few times when brewers get a chance to take a moment and meet each other. A big thank you to Ken and Adam at Mysterious Brewing who invited me to join them and hopefully they didn't regret that decision.

Whilst I was there I had a short chat with five of the beer people so today we'll hear from:

Neil Walker, Head of Comms and Marketing at SIBA
Axel Jany from Weyermann maltsters
Jon Cox who works at Willis European, stainless steel brewing, bottling and processing equipment
Tom Bacon from BarthhaasX
Paul Corbett from Charles Faram

We talk about SIBA's new branding, how they got into their role, what their role is like and what they've been excited to be talking about and sharing at SIBA Beer X

So with that, grab yourself a beer and let's have a chat with some of the beer people.

Emma Inch | Beer podcaster and writer | Brighton

Welcome to We Are Beer People - a podcast all about the many different people who help us enjoy beer.

Today I'm meeting with Emma Inch, beer podcaster and communicator that was voted UK beer writer of the year in 2018 and has a background in radio, DJing, podcasting, writing, judging, teaching and social work.

And Emma's recent project is called Same Again? A Podcast About Beer Pubs & Mental Health. It's a deft, informative and supportive look at the interplay been these three elements told through the experiences of those in the beer world and we'll talk about this in the podcast as well as Emma's journey to getting where we are today.

Emma lives in Brighton and we were spoilt for choice with the number of fantastic places we could have visited. And in the end we chose to duck out of the rain and into the The Hole In The Wall, a beautifully welcoming pub, tucked away just off the seafront, with an excellent selection of beer and cider on keg and cask and from near and far.

So let's head out of the rainy day and into the pub, collapse our brollies, hang up our coats, order a beer, pull up a chair and have a chat with one of the beer people.

Radim Zvánovec | Global Brand Ambassador | Budweiser Budvar

Welcome to We Are Beer People - a podcast all about the many different people who help us enjoy beer.

Some places are intertwined with particular styles and serves of beer.

Think of foamy pints of cask beer pulled up from a cool cellar with a handpump in a British pub

Travel to the West Coast of the USA and you're at the home of bright crisp IPAs, full of pine and citrus.

When it comes to lagers, these are differentiated from ales by their use of bottom-fermenting yeast at cool temperatures over a relatively longer time, we might think of mainstream examples that are commonly seen at bars. But they have a history that goes back to medieval times when beers were stored, or lagered, in caves for months and months with yeast that happily worked in these temperatures.

Europe has a rich history of lager production which influenced Bavarian and Bohemian

Today we're chatting with Radim Zvánovec, global brand ambassador at Budweiser Budvar Brewery, the Czech state-owned brewery that is based in the town of Chess Kay bood-yayyo-vitseh at a site where they have been brewing for hundreds of years. The modern brewery has been incorporated since 1895 and uses a celebrated approach to brewing beer that's rigorously followed to this day. Using the same water from artesian wells, malts, hops, yeast and time.

So let's find out a little bit about Radim and his journey into beer, being a global brand ambassador and the wonderful world of lager.
