A Woman’s Brew

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

We are getting spicy this week with a chat with Sam from Hopt Sauce. The process of making hot sauce draws some interesting paralles with the process of brewing beer. Sam created Hopt Sauce out of his love for craft beer and flavour. We chat about how to make hot sauce, how collaborations work and how hot sauce is surprisingly marketed in a masculine way.

Go buy some of Sam’s delicious sauces at his website here:

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

We are finishing off Women’s History Month by interviewing the women who are closest to the podcast – us! Jo and Tori interview each other in the episode through a combination of questions from listeners, social media followers, speed dating questions and just what they want to know about each other.

This episode is an opportunity to find out more about is outside of our beer adventures. Find out what motivates us, what our autobiographies would be called and what our dream jobs were when we were kids. Jo talks a lot about cruise ships so be warned!

We also do a round up of our Brave Noise brew day with Merakai Brewing Co – an experience we can highly recommend.

Do you still have burning questions for us? Head over to Instagram and let us know!

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

We are making a Brave Noise – both physically and by brewing the beer!

If you haven’t heard about Brave Noise, it is a global collaboration beer started by Brienne Allan. It started as a question:

“Have you ever experienced sexism in the beer industry?”

This opened the flood gates to reports of not just sexism, but racism, homophobia and sexual assault within the beer industry and community. To honour those that have spoken out and to try to have a safer, more inclusive beer industry, the Brave Noise collaboration was born.

To take part breweries must submit their code of conduct and make this publicly available to staff and consumers. They must also commit to doing the long term work of building a more inclusive industry and make a donation to an appropriate charity or non-profit that reflects the mission of the collaboration.

We were honoured to be asked by Merakai Brewing Co to be part of their Brave Noise brew – not only brewing the beer with them but also expressing why the cause is so important to us and helping to choose the non-profit partner to receive funds from the sale of the beer.

We chose The Coven Brewsters Wellness Officer initiative. These with be trained staff that will attend beer events and festivals to help, support and act as witness for attendees.

In this episode we talk to the whole of our Brave Noise Team:

Emma O’Neill-Parsons @merakai_brewing

Bex Morton @bexdrinksbeer

Emmie Harrison-West @beerwomxn

Kimberly Owen @craftbeerpinup

Leeann Craven @craftbeer_redhead

Ranjana Cartwright @ranji86

And shout out to Rebecca Price (@beerme_becky) who couldn’t make it.

The beer has SOLD OUT from the Merakai website already but check out their socials to find all the local stockists who have supported the cause and grab yours from there.

If you would like to learn more about Brave Noise and encourage your favourite brewery to take part check out the website here:

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

Continuing our Women’s History Month series, we chat to Shannon from Brew Export UK. Shannon has built a global export business based on a college project that has been successfully running for 7 years. Despite Covid and US restrictions, Brew Export UK is managing to bring US craft beer to the UK at excellent prices and through cold chain storage.

Shannon’s story is quite inspiring and we loved chatting to her, finding out what is to come from Brew Export UK. We hope to have a beer with her one day in the future!

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

This week we have been lucky enough to chat to Jordan from Unbarred Brewery. Not only do they brew amazing beer, they also support their local community and collaborate with local artists. From their home in Brighton they have big plans for the future!

We drink their Cold IPA – the first in a series of IPAs they are creating this year and a relatively new style here in the UK. Jordan talks us through the style and how it differs from a regular IPA.

You can find the Cold IPA and their other delicious beers on their webshop here:

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

We are so honoured to be talking to Dr J Nikol Jackson-Beckham from the Brewers Association. Not only was she their first Diversity Ambassador, she now leads the Brewers Association's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion department as the association's Equity & Inclusion Partner. She also runs Crafted for All LLC and is an advocate for inclusion in the beer community and industry. Her insights certainly opened our eyes!

Dr J gives us actionable tips on how we can all be inclusive not only in beer but throughout our lives. This was such an important conversation, and we hope that you get as much out of it as we did.

We can’t wait to have a drink with Dr J in real life one day!
