A Woman’s Brew

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!

The lovely Ele from DMC Brewery chats to us this week about ginger beer! As a brewery that specialises in ginger beer, and what Ele refers to as ‘other weird beers’, she is definitely an authority on the subject.

We discuss the process of brewing ginger beer, the choice of ingredients and how their Viking aesthetic lends quite nicely to not only their brews but also events that they visit.

And – what makes the perfect s’more? Possibly the most important conversation we’ve ever had on the podcast!

Let us know how you make yours in the comments!

We know we’re late, but in a galaxy far, far away we were on time! Happy (belated) Star Wars day!

Star Wars and beer seem to be inextricably linked – in the fictional world and ours. We drink through some Star Wars beers from our stashes and talk about alcoholic beverages in the series.

We also see what Star Wars drinks you could get at Disney – who wants to join us on a Podcast road trip to Galaxy’s Edge?!

Let us know who your fave (and worst) Star Wars characters are in the comments – we won’t judge!

We’re getting salty – with seaweed. You may know seaweed as an ingredient in Asian cuisine, or even as a superfood – but have you had it in beer?

This week we try 3 beers that use seaweed as part of the brew:

· Meet Me Underwater by Brass Castle – a red IPA with Mosaic, Sabro and seaweed from SeaGrown

· Trawler’s Dread by Harbwr – a black IPA with Pembrookshire seaweed

· Umibozu by Tartarus – a squid ink, seaweed and yuzu gose

We also hit you up with the fun seaweed facts and an amusing Amazon review!

Seaweed – yeah or nah? Let us know in the comments!

We are taking you on an adventure this week, along the Oregon Trail!

When we saw that Elusive had produced an Oregon Trail trilogy, building on their award winning West Coast IPA, we knew we needed to get out of our comfort zones and try all the beers.

As well as drinking through Oregon Trail, Double Oregon Trail and Midnight Oregon Trail, we give you some fun facts about the history of the trail and the game that inspired the beer.

It’s always good to go back to a style that isn’t your favourite and try it again – it builds your palate and lets you see if it has changed. Which beer style do you need to go back and revisit?

All hail our AI overlords! We’re hitting on the hottest trend in podcasting – using AI to write scripts and prompts – let’s see how it goes!

Jo was skeptical, but Tori thought it was hilarious, so here we are reading from a script written by a robot. We also check over some prompts for episodes to see if they would work for us, and Tori pitches us our own solo podcasts (for when Jo get’s too famous and dumps her!)

How do you think AI did? Do you want to hear any of the prompts we chat about or start a beer book club with us? Let us know!

We are finishing off our cocktail episodes with a round of mixed drinks. We’ve found a few cocktail inspired beers that seem to be outliers in their field with no one else attempting to make that beer.

We start with Vault City’s Strawberry Woo Woo and again ask – is this a sour starter? Tori also discusses her thoughts on British birthday cakes – prepared to be shocked!

New Bristol Brewery have created an Old Fashioned inspired stout – are they successful at interpreting the blend of bitters, bourbon and orange?

Finally, we take on The Dude with Brew York with their White Russian inspired white stout – The Dude Abides.

We think we’ll revisit cocktail inspired beers in the future. Have you got any beers you recommend we try? Let us know in the comments!

We continue our cocktail comparison series with another of Jo’s favourites – the Mojito! Despite the fact that she doesn’t generally like mint, a muddled leaf is actually a flavour she enjoys in a cocktail – will it be the same in a beer though!

The beers we found that emulated a mojito were all sours, but they were definitely a range of levels of sours – we not only chat about the flavours but also if these beers would be suitable for someone starting on their journey in sour beers.

We tried:

Mojito Sour from Lost Industry Brewing

Lime Zest and Mint Mojito Sour from Play Brew Co

In Waves from Amity Brew Co

What beer would you give to someone wanting to try sours? Let us know!
