Episode 125 – Essex Brewery Showcase

October 30, 2015 / / 0 Comments

This week is something new for us as we focus on a single county in our Essex County Showcase jointly hosted by Justin Mason.

We tackle four beers that have been carefuly selected for us by Justin to highlight where the Essex Brewery scene is right now. Starting with Crouch Vale’s ‘Brewers Gold’ we then move onto Wibbler’s ‘Hop Black’ and Maldon Brewery’s ‘Xylonite’ before tackling the very special Brentwood Brewing Co’s ‘Van Kannor’.

In the news, all you need to know is that Thornbridge’s (KLAXON) ‘Halcyon’ has been voted the best beer in Europe, while the #prizelesspize this week goes to a suitably seasonal holiday themed montage.

Keep up to date with what’s going on in the Essex Brewery scene by following Beer In Essex and also make sure to read Justin’s excellent posts on the beer that is cuurretly available in his home county.

Plus, we do actually review a beer this week – the chocolate, vanilla & coconut stout ‘snowball’ from The Waen Brewery.

Episode 122 – NZ Hopfen Weisse

October 9, 2015 / / 2 Comments

 

This week we feature not one, but two beers from the Manchester-based Cloudwater Brew Co. Our feature beer is the NZ Hopfen Weisse from their Autumn range plus we also crack a US Hopfen Weisse from their Summer Range for comparison purposes. If that wasn’t enough Cloudwater for you, there’s also an epic interview with co-founder Paul Jones.

We also discuss exactly what a Hopfen Weisse is, the constant innovation of beer styles and in #HopTopic we ask what the term ‘IPA’ actually means now.

All this plus the usual news and the most epic #prizelessprize we’ll ever award.
