A Woman’s Brew

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

Spooky season is upon us and you might have some sweets left over. Can you pair them with your favourite beers?

This week we pair some popular Halloween candies with beer to see which is a treat and which is a trick. We try Starburst, Haribo, M&Ms, Kitkat, Twix, Snickers and Milkway with various beer styles to find the tastiest treats. We also delve into the different sweets given out across the world, and which states in the US love peanut butter cups.

Which sweets would you pair with your favourite beer? Let us know in the comments!

For more beer and candy pairings check out Jo’s video here:

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

Ask me about my imposter syndrome! We saw this awesome beer name from Spookton Brew Co – in case you’ve missed it, we talk about our importer syndrome on the reg!

Our excitement over the beer name caught the attention of Spookton founder Jon, and he reached out to us. We are so excited to have a chat with him about how he started the brewery, Spookton’s charitable efforts and his thoughts on Imposter Syndrome. We also get a bit of Brave Noise talk in there for good measure!

You can find out more about Spookton Brew Co on their website here:

https://spookton.co.uk/

Give them a follow on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter here as well:

And don’t forget to ask your local bottle shop to get some Spookton in so you can try these tasty beers! They can contact Jon to order here:

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

We are making noise with Sophie and Maz from Lost & Grounded this week as we continue our Brave Noise round up.

Lost & Grounded brewed a lager for their Brave Noise beer which just shows you can make any beer and still make a brave noise! The beer was in collaboration with We Are Beer festivals but if you missed it, you can still find it on their webstore here:

https://www.lostandgroundedstore.co.uk/

It is delicious! While you are there, grab a Brave Noise and Women of the Bevolution shirt too!

Maz and Sophie talk us through brewing the Brave Noise beer and the process of putting together their code of conduct. We chat about how breweries might already have these in place, but just haven’t signed up to Brave Noise yet – come join us everyone!

Did you try Lost & Grounded’s Brave Noise lager? Let us know in the comments!

As always, our advice is to support your local bottleshops and bars when you can, but in a pinch, here are our supermarket choices to get you through.

What beers do you enjoy during the Oktoberfest season? Let us know in the comments!

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

Back in episode 67 we talked you through barley wines. These strong ales were brewed to be stored and aged and modern brewers are doing interesting things with them. This week we take a look at NOT barley wines!

Close relative to the barley wine is the wheat, oat and rye wine and we sample an example of each. How do the different grains change this beer style? Why would brewers use these alternative grains and which do we like best?

Have you tried any of these not barley wines? Let us know in the comments.

And if you missed it, you can listen back to episode 67 here:

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

In the next episode of our UK Brave Noise round up we chat to Vendy from Vault City about their Brave Noise brew. In true Vault City fashion they brewed a twist on the recipe creating a pineapple sour pale. It stays true to both the brewery and Brave Noise while still being refreshing, accessible and making a noise for awareness – exactly what we need!

Vendy talks about her experience of brewing the beer and her time at Vault City who are an excellent example of how breweries can get involved with Brave Noise.

The beer is unfortunately sold out, but you can check out other Vault City beers here:

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

In another of our Brave Noise episodes we are honoured to talk to Ash & Ren from the Brave Noise team while they were at London Craft Beer Festival this summer.

We had important discussions about why breweries should get involved with the initiative, why it’s not just about the pale ale recipe and how we can all be better at inclusivity.

A massive thank you to Ash and Ren for giving us their time and sharing their insights with us. And thank you to Tom from We Are Beer for helping to make this happen.

Are there breweries you still wish could brew a Brave Noise beer? Tag them in the comments!

If you want to find out more about the Brave Noise initiative check out the website here:

https://www.bravenoisebeer.com/

You can find the initiative on Instagram here:
