In our 64th podcast, we bring you the three talks we hosted at the Friends & Family & beer festival on Feb 21st and 22nd of 2020.

The festival graciously asked us to host a talk at each session that would be free for fest goers to attend. We decided to do Brewery Focus chats where we interviewed three breweries pouring at the festival that we thought stood out.

We chose Salopian Brewery of Shrewsbury, Young Master Brewery of Hong Kong and Trve Brewing Co. of Denver.

The first talk featured is with Wilf Nelson, Managing Director of Salopian Brewery. We discuss the longevity of the brewery and how they have changed and adapted to the changes in the UK beer scene over the last two decades, amongst other things.

Our second talk was with Jess, Tom and Rohit of Young Master Brewery. They tell us about growing the brewery in Hong Kong and how craft beer in Asia has grown with them over the past few years. We also hear how they make their beer unique to where they are from.

The third and final talk is with Erin and Nick of Trve Brewing, who talk to us about being known for mixed ferm beer, but creating wonderful clean beer. Including the 'Cold' pils we drank during the chat which they also touch upon. Nick and Erin also chat about their unique taproom and how music has inspired there look and artwork.

In our 63rd podcast, we talk to El of Reasons To Be Cheerful.

El owns and runs the Reasons To Be Cheerful bar, which just celebrated its 3rd birthday. She tells us about opening the bar, and what went into the decision to do it, choosing a venue, researching the area and actually getting people in for a beer.

We also hear El's thoughts on making the bar part of the community and a welcome space for everyone, and how she went about doing that.

From the look of the place to the cask and keg selection we hear about what makes R2BC unique, as El tells us about some of the ups and downs of owning an independent beer bar in 2020.

And of course there is also plenty of Chipsticks chat.

In our 62nd podcast, we talk to Oli Banks, head brewer at Stigbergets Bryggeri.

The Swedish brewery has made a name for itself over the past few years for their stunning IPAs, so we talk to Oli about their hoppy reputation, how it came about and where it has taken them.

Oli was born in England so gives us an insight into moving over to Gothenburg to work at the brewery, and what he's been doing at Stigbergets ever since.

A big part of beer in Sweden is the quite strict laws they have around alcohol. Probably the most obviousis the government run stores called Systembolaget that are the only places in Sweden you can buy beer over 3.5%. Oli tells us how the laws impact brewing, what the beer industry does to work with Systembolaget, and gives us a overview of how the Swedish laws around beer work.

In our 61st podcast, we talk to Ben and Mick of Rivington Brewing Co.
They have been putting out solid beers the past few years, and we talked to them as they were starting a new step for the brewery.

With the opening of a taproom on Mick's family farm, Home Farm, and the current move of the brewery to the same building, we talk to Mick and Ben about the move and what they wanted from it.

We also discuss how a tap and brewery fits into a working farm, how they turned stables into a bar, and how they have used the farms land to their advantage since the beginning.

They tell us about the beer they are brewing, and hoping to brew in the future, why they started the brewery in the first place and what they want to grow into.

Also we find out their favourite tractors, amongst other things.
