I am delighted to welcome to the podcast Anthony from Twisted Wheel Brewery, based in Chorley.

Two weeks before Christmas 2022, Twisted Wheel Brewery was shuttered by HMRC due to substantial unpaid duty and VAT bills. This came as a huge shock to Anthony, who was as busy as he had ever been, brewing great modern Craft Beers.

Join me as I chat to Anthony about this painful experience, and hear how he is in the process of rescuing the Brewery, with the help of the amazing Northwest Craft Beer Community.

I am delighted to welcome to the podcast Bruce from Left Handed Giant based in Bristol.

Left Handed Giant originally started with a beer handed across to Small Bar owners Bruce Gray and Jack Granger. The beer was made by Rich Poole, who eventually set-up shop on on a small kit in the back of the same bar, fermenting the thought of a cuckoo brewery that became Left Handed Giant.

From its start in 2014, the brewery grew in stages, first by securing its own premises in the summer of 2017, and more recently in the latter part of 2019 a second, flagship location of a brewpub based in the centre of Bristol in Finzels Reach, overlooking the harbour off the River Avon.

I am delighted to welcome to the podcast Thom from Liquid Light Brew Co based in Nottingham.

Liquid Light was founded by Thom in 2017, with a focus on combining his love for beer and music.

Initially brewing on a nano-kit in his garden shed, Thom progressed to cuckoo brewing at Magpie Brewery for a while, before establishing his own Brewery and Taproom in June 2021 in the Sneinton suburb of Nottingham.

I am delighted to welcome to the podcast Jarrod from Boscombe Brewing based in Bournemouth.

Boscombe's beers are vegan with no additives or preservatives, making beer the traditional way for the 21st century customer.

Round Corner was founded in 2018, based at the historic Melton Mowbray Market, the UK's rural capital of food, dating back 1000 years to the Domesday Book.

Round Corner believe craft beer is all about the relentless pursuit of perfection, and they seek to brew the best example of every beer style they approach. Their high standards are paying off the awards and accolades keep coming, year on year.

I am delighted to welcome to the podcast Don from Crop Beer based in Southsea.

Don honed his craft at both Dig Brew and Tap It, before launching Crop in 2021, initially contract brewing, before taking on the brewery at the Greenwich in Southsea, Portsmouth.

Crop is passionate about innovation as a constant, and if that means breaking things because they push them to far, well that’ll be lessons learned. At Crop they don’t brew by the rules, they bend them to the limit and make new ones that suit them.
