This Week in Craft Beer

This week sees a variation from our usual Podcast programming, partly due to Rob having been completely off the grid last week, backpacking on the Isle of Jura.

Before he went away, Rob was honoured to be invited on as a guest on the Triple Hopped Podcast, where he get into a wide ranging discussion with Charlie about his Craft Beer Journey, and the evolution of This Week in Craft Beer to date.

I am delighted to welcome to The Podcast, Andrew from Beerhut Brewing Co.

Beerhut are a small independent brewery setup in 2017 and based in Co. Down, Northern Ireland. What started as a hobby in a small tin hut has blossomed into a journey they never thought they would be part of. Their beer's are brewed the way they like it. They like juice, decadent imperial stouts and mouth puckering sour's. They are focused on producing beer without compromise. Punchy and full of flavour.
