Podcast de Beer with Nat

On every episode of Beer with Nat, I share a beer and a chat with people who do what they love for a living... they work in the beer industry. As we’ve all ended up in this industry by pursuing a passion or chasing a dream, you can bet each guest has some pretty incredible stories to tell.

    Episode #050 | Jaega Wise Interviews Natalya Watson, Host of the 'Beer with Nat' Podcast

    For this final episode of the ‘Beer with Nat’ podcast, we’re going full circle… all the way back to Episode #001. Today’s guest is Jaega Wise, Head Brewer at Wild Card Brewery and my very first guest when the show kicked off in November 2018. We start by checking in with Jaega on what she’s been up to since then, including seeing the brewery through the pandemic, launching their new barrel program, hosting a TV series and publishing a book. (Yep, she’s been busy!) Then, as a thank you to Jaega for helping me get the show off the ground all those years go… she gets to turn the tables and interview me!    We chat all about my career, what I was up to before beer, what I enjoy most about being part of the beer industry and plenty more. We have a lot of laughs, too. I hope you enjoy listening in. Here’s Jaega…

    Today’s guest is Maia Kazas, European Events Manager at global hop company Barth-Haas.

Maia then shares what she was up to before beer and how she made her transition into the beer industry – more specifically, into working with hops. You’ll get to hear all about her experience working on a hop farm in New Zealand and what it was like for her to move from the US to the UK for her job… without ever visiting first! We also discuss one of Maia’s other passions: mead. And lastly, Maia lets us in on what she enjoys most about being a part of the beer industry. Here’s Maia…

    Episode #046 | Helena Adedipe, Co-Founder of Eko Brewery

    Today’s guest is Helena Adedipe, Co-Founder of Eko Brewery. To start, Helena tells us what inspired her and her husband, Anthony, to set up the business in 2019 and talks us through some of the unique ingredients and considerations behind their distinctive African-inspired beers. We then discuss what her role looks like today and what keeps Helena busy outside the brewery, as she still maintains a full-time role as a financial crime consultant. You may think that role might not have much to do with beer, but Helena lets us in on some of the skills she’s brought from her day job into her beer career. She also shares her advice for others looking to start their own business and, of course, what she enjoys most about being a part of the beer industry. (Just a quick heads up, there’s quite a bit of feedback from Helena’s mic as the conversation gets started, but we get the issue fixed about one-third of the way through. So please do hang in there and apologies in advance!) Here’s Helena…

    Episode #045 | Ruth Mitchell, Operations Director at Elusive Brewing

    Today’s guest is Ruth Mitchell, Operations Director at Elusive Brewing. Ruth has been with Elusive for just about a year now, but her promotion to Operations Director was relatively recent. As the role was still very new when we spoke, she tells us a bit about what her current day-to-day looks like, the vision for the future, and what her previous role as Head of Sales, Marketing and Events entailed. We then go all the way back to the beginning of Ruth’s career in beer which has seen her work in sales roles for breweries including Adnams, Charles Wells, West Berkshire, Utopian and now Elusive. (She’s also spent some time in gin sales, too!) As you’ll hear, she’s got a wealth of experience and knowledge to share, including advice on how to get started in a career in beer, the skills it takes to succeed in sales and much more. Finally, Ruth tells us what she enjoys most about being a part of the beer industry. (Just a quick heads-up Ruth’s adorable sausage dog Bertie was in the room with her during our conversation, so you’ll hear him chime in on occasion. Hopefully it’s not too distracting!) Here’s Ruth…

    Episode #044 | Lana Svitankova, Beer Writer, Translator, and Brewery Ambassador for Varvar Brew

    Today’s guest is Lana Svitankova, a beer writer, translator, beer judge and brewery ambassador for Varvar Brew in Kyiv, Ukraine. Before we get into what we chatted about, I thought it best to mention when we chatted. Lana and I recorded in mid-December 2021, just two months before the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Given the current situation, I checked in with Lana to make sure she was comfortable with me sharing our conversation as planned and she felt there was no need to postpone it, suggesting instead that the episode may help draw attention to the country, its people and its beer scene. If you’d like to support the people of Ukraine, Lana has launched a new initiative – Drinkers for Ukraine – to help raise funds for the Red Cross humanitarian relief effort in the country. Visit drinkersforukraine.com to find out how you can get involved. And if you’d like to learn more about Lana, the incredible individual behind this initiative, listen in as we discuss what Lana’s day-to-day work life looks like, how she got into beer, and of course, what she enjoys most about being a part of the beer industry. (Just a quick heads up, I was recovering from Covid when Lana and I chatted, so my voice is a bit scratchy. Apologies in advance.) Here’s Lana…

Finally, Pip shares her advice on how to get into the beer industry and what she enjoys most about being a part of it. (Just a quick heads up, Pip was chatting with me from the brewery taproom, so there’s a bit of background noise on her end, but hopefully it’s not too distracting!) Here’s Pip…
