It was great to have Todd from Good Word Brewing join us to brew a beer. Whilst we had him here, it felt a shame not to sit down and hear his story.Good Word is a brewery based in Atlanta, Georgia, not an area of the world you'd think cask beer could thrive, but Todd and his team are making it happen.Enjoy!

It's been a minute since I sat down with Bruce. We try to do a yearly check-in, but last year seemed to just disappear into the ether.So this year... a couple of months late, we got to it.We covered a lot of ground in this one: what failure looks like, BrewDog, and of course, the general state of the industry.Enjoy!

We've got a special episode for you with Todd Haire, Head Brewer & co owner of Foam Brewers Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This weeks guest is Luca Lorenzoni. Luca has had a really interesting career path, starting out with Ab inBev (the big guys) before becoming managing director at Camden then CEO of Northern Monk. For me, it’s Such a fascinating trajectory because Luca learned/got all of the tools from a big corporate entity before moving into a more independent & craft beer market. He wrote four really interesting (and I encourage you to read) articles that talk about the essence of what it is to be a ‘craft brewery’ and how to find a path forward. Heavy Emphasis on the Path bit there as that’s then name of Lucas new consultancy, where he helps smaller starter brands move towards there goals I loved this conversation, and hopefully there’s a lot for you guys to take away from it it Enjoy!

On this weeks Episode we sit down with David & Todd from Freestyle Hops. We've been so impressed with the Hops coming out of New Zealand and Freestyle Hops are right at the forefront of it. We discuss Freestyles Story and also the work the goes in behind the scenes to produce these beautiful plants. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Todays guest, we have Mathew Dick. Co founder and once brewer of Boundary Brewing Cooperative, based in Belfast Northern Ireland. I’ve known Matt a while now, and have always wanted to get him on the show. Little did I know just how fascinating and testing Matts journeys has been. Notice the cooperative part in the brewery title, something very close to the city that we reside in here in Manchester and defined as:“An association of persons united to meet their common needs and aspirations through a jointly owned and democratically controlled enterprise”What a wonderful but also incredibly challenging concept to build a brewery from. Matt was such a great guest, candid and clear in the realities of what it’s taken to get to this point and the dramatic situations he’s found himself in.Enjoy!

We are back with a new Season of The Thirst Time, the show that takes a deep dive into the careers and journeys of some of the most creative minds in the craft beer industry. Todays guest, we have, Jeff Cozzens, co founder and owner of Schilling Beer. Schilling are a brewery based out of a picturesque brewhouse and taproom, sat right on the river in the little mountain town of Littleton, New Hampshire. With a focus on European styles, and a deep love of all things Lager. Something that I/we also have a deep love for. It was so cool to be able to sit down with Jeff and have this conversation face to face. Jeff and Zac came over especially to brew a collaboration with us, a Dunkel none the less. I’d met Zac way back at Friends Family & Beer when he was working at Trillium. We’d kept in touch and when I saw the amazing work he and the crew at Schilling were doing, I reached out to see if they wanted to brew something up together. They said yes, but if we’re brewing we’re coming! So we had the honour to host them here and show them a little bit of Manchesters beer scene.Enjoy and as ever... Stay Thirsty Hosted on Acast.
