This week on the Hop Forward Podcast we are joined by Five Points Brewing Company Marketing Manager, Claudia Mayne, in the Pembury Tavern, Hackney, talking all about core range beers, branding, cask beer and cellaring, and the future of the British pub.

Nick also shares on the importance of taking a break every once in a while.

Today's episode is sponsored by BIG: a beer festival celebrating the new wave of UK craft breweries destined to grow large; we’re personally inviting breweries we believe are delivering diverse, complex, amazing beers but aren’t invited to some of the well-known festivals because, well… they’re not ‘big’ yet!
