    A Chat With Postcard Brewing of Ireland

    In this episode, I'm joined by Jonathan Spielberg, founder of Postcard Brewing Company in Dublin, Ireland. Jonathan, originally from New York, takes us through his journey from IT project management to becoming a key player in Ireland's craft beer scene. We delve into the challenges of transitioning from a hobbyist brewer to establishing a fully-fledged brewery, the complexities of contract brewing, and the lessons learned from the successes and failures of various craft beer ventures. Jonathan shares the inspiration behind Postcard Brewing, including how Dublin's iconic landmarks and his love for West Coast IPAs influenced the branding and beer styles. We also discuss the balancing act of catering to local tastes while eyeing the international market, especially the challenges of breaking into the U.S. craft beer scene. Tune in to hear about the creative process behind their unique beer labels, the role of marketing in the craft beer industry, and what lies ahead for Postcard Brewing as they continue to expand both domestically and internationally. Whether you're a craft beer enthusiast or interested in the business side of brewing, this episode is packed with insights and stories from the heart of Ireland's brewing industry.

    Recreating A 3,000 Year Old Egyptian Beer in Utah

    Beer was a fundamental part of life in Ancient Egypt. But what did it taste like? That's the sort of question most of would briefly ponder and then move on. Not Dylan McDonnell. He set about plans to recreate an ancient beer as accurately as possible. It turned out to be a 3 year project of deciphering ancient documents, finding ingredients that were as authentic as possible - and even finding a yeast that was scraped from 3,000 year old pottery. Dylan is joining me to chat about how he had the idea, what it involved, and most importantly how the beer tasted.

  3. What's The Real History of Lambic Beer?

    26 JUN

    What's The Real History of Lambic Beer?

    Lambic is synonymous with Brussels. The usual story is that the spontaneously fermented beer has been brewed unchanged since medieval times, a remnant of how all beers were once brewed. The story is more interesting though. Beer Historian Roel Mulder from LostBeers.com joins me to explain how Lambic beers originated in the 18th century and how they went on to be the Brussels 'peoples beer,' declined in popularity in the mid 20th century, and have seen a dramatic revival in the 21st. We discuss the first recorded mention of lambic, the requirements for a beer to be lambic, where it was brewed and why it developed.

It's hardy and grows in dry conditions, but it is hard to harvest and process. Why decide to brew with it?And why take ownership of the world's only remaining Burton Union system?

We do this by producing a diverse range of lagers & ales with balanced and complex, yet approachable flavors and the utmost dedication to quality control.

    A Chat With Tom Standage, Author of A History Of The World in 6 Glasses

    Looking at the history of the world through it's 6 favourite drinks might seem a bit unusual. But this lens throws light on changes in culture as well as power throughout the ages. Tom Standage, editor of The Economist, took this approach in his book "A History Of The World In 6 Glasses," in which he traces trends through the history of Beer, Wine, Spirits, Tea, Coffee, and Coke. Tom joins me for a chat focusing on the first three of these (though we'll probably mention the others as well.) How did each influence the civilisations of their times? What do they say about the transfer of power and wealth across the ages? And which is better????
