Episode 37: Neptune Brewery with Melissa Cole

In this episode I welcome the fabulous beer writer Melissa Cole as a special guest co-host and we are joined by Les and Julie O'Grady from Liverpool's Neptune Brewery to talk about their beers, starting a brewery off the back of a successful aquatics business, their brewing ethos and the Ladies That Beer project.  All this and Melissa's new book, cats sleeping on people's heads, Lamb Gose, Crack Hens, taprooms in football stadia and how Les comes up with his ideas in bed on a Sunday morning!

I also talk about the British Guild of Beer Writers Awards Dinner, which I attended.

The beers that we drank are:

Neptune's beers can be found in many places around the UK, but also on their website neptunebrewery.com.  Melissa's books can be found in independent bookshops, some brewery taprooms and big internet sites named after rivers in South America, but also on her website melissacolebeer.com.
