We're going back to the land for another installment in our Ingredient Series, and this one will make you want to get your fingers in the soil. We're chatting to Maurice Deasy from Canvas Brewing about Heritage Grains and malting - and why Canvas have chosen to make beers from farm to glass. Lisa and Christina are at the helm this week as we dive deeper into tall and short grain, sorting the wheat from the chaff and how to brew saisonly… ahem, seasonally.Links:What is Heritage Malt? https://www.geterbrewed.com/blog/2022/08/08/what-is-a-heritage-malt/Heritage Malts from Crisp - https://crispmalt.com/our-malts/heritage/ Canvas Brewery - https://www.canvasbrewery.com/What we're drinking:Hope - Passifyoucan - https://untappd.com/b/hope-beer-passifyoucan/1214592McHughs X Larkins - Explorer 5 DIPA - https://untappd.com/b/larkin-s-brewing-co-mchughs-explorer-5/5026706Canvas Brewery - Ramoke - https://untappd.com/b/canvas-brewery-ramoke/4230650Beer Ladies Links: linktr.ee/beerladies#beerladiespodcast #womeninbeer #beerpodcast Hosted on Acast.

Did you know that the style of Berline Weisse nearly died out? Meet one of the brewers who are keeping it - in its most historically accurate form - alive: Ulrike Genz from Schneeeule brewery in Berlin.

Did you know that brewing in the home was not just for family consumption? Did you know that passing on recipes for and using ale/beer was a practice not only documented through letters and books but also tells us a whole bunch about women's roles in the home as well as the broader economy? Listen up as Christina, Lisa, Katie, and Thandi go through housewives and brewing through the early Modern era, and why it's so damn fascinating.

The regulatory affairs concerning alcoholic beverages can be very different, depending on where the drink is sold or imbibed. Most places have basic laws regarding labeling requirements, minimum age of consumers, trading hours, and drunk driving. These past 4 years in Ireland have seen legislative changes concerning alcohol being sold on Good Friday, whether breweries and distilleries may sell alcohol on their own premises, the banning of loyalty cards and promotions in off-licenses, minimum pricing on alcohol, and a separate alcohol section in supermarkets. Our hosts Bean, Katie, and Lisa wanted to learn more about alcohol laws in other countries, so they did some digging…prepare to hear about laws that are quirky, funny, and downright strange!Don't forget, you can get our *brand new* merch hereBeers in this episode:Einstök, Iceland - ‘Icelandic Arctic' Pale AleHope, Ireland - ‘Limited Edition 26' Amber LagerWhite Hag, Ireland - ‘The Puca' Lemon SourLinks:Bombay Prohibition Act, 1949Crazy Alcohol Laws Around the World | Cheapism.comLicensing Act 187217 Weird Drinking Laws From Around The World | Crazy Liquor Laws | ThrillistWeird Drinking Laws in our 50 StatesStrange Beer & Drinking Laws Around The WorldUtah's 12 Strange Alcohol Laws That Only Locals UnderstandWhy Iceland banned beer | BBC NewsFollow the Beer Ladies here:YouTubeInstagramTwitterFacebookPlease follow, like, share, rate, review, subscribe, tell a friend...you can also support us on BuyMeACoffee (Beer) - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/beerladiespod See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Katie and Erica got the low-down from Shane (Franciscan Well) and Leah (Fidelity) about all the behind-the scenes logistics that go into organising these events.

We wrap up the basics of our ingredient series with the unsung hero: H2O! Despite it covering most of Earth's surface and making up most of our own bodies, we often take water for granted. We need this precious liquid to survive- on its own and in other drinks/ foods. Along with malted grain, hops, and yeast…water completes a beer recipe. It can come from many sources, be hard or soft, and be treated in various ways. Additionally, it is used in cleaning and waste removal. Our hosts Katie and Thandi chatted with friend of the pod Chelsea Merrick, a Senior Process Engineer specialising in water treatment.Beers in this episode:Weissenohe, Germany - ‘Eucharius' Pilsner - https://untappd.com/b/klosterbrauerei-weissenohe-eucharius-pils/807277Staropramen, Czech Republic - ‘Premium' Pilsner - https://untappd.com/b/pivovary-staropramen-staropramen-premium-lezak/38700Kinnegar, Ireland - ‘Yannaroddy' Porter - https://untappd.com/b/kinnegar-brewing-yannaroddy/522463Chelsea's Homebrewed Imperial Stout ;)Links:Changing Tides - How Breweries are Combating Water Shortages and Working Towards Sustainability - Good Beer Hunting - https://www.goodbeerhunting.com/blog/2020/1/27/changing-tides-how-breweries-are-combating-water-shortages-and-working-towards-sustainabilityThe Beginner's Guide to Brewing Water Chemistry - https://www.brewcabin.com/brewing-water/Brewing Water - https://beerandbrewing.com/brewing-water/Water: The Overlooked Essential - https://beerandbrewing.com/water-the-overlooked-essential/Follow the Beer Ladies here:YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWBi3lGBJmdNZtLk-mj4cXgInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/beerladiespod/Twitter - https://twitter.com/beerladiespodFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/beerladiespodcastPlease follow, like, share, rate, review, subscribe, tell a friend...you can also support us on BuyMeACoffee (Beer) - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/beerladiespodSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/beerladiespod)

One of the most iconic names associated with Ireland is that of “Guinness”. Christina, Katie, Lisa, and Thandi may not be drinking the Black Stuff in this episode, but they certainly delved into the historical archives of several breweries and their technological advances and scientific discoveries. There was a shift from local beer made in homes to the machine-driven mass production of beer (which could now be shipped), and this change had an impact on rural communities. From factories and using brine in cooling to the Student's t-test and developments in transportation routes, this episode is brimming with pub quiz-worthy knowledge.Beers in this episode:St. Mel's, Ireland - ‘Lúnasa' DIPA - https://www.stmelsbrewing.com/product/dubbel-irish/Eight Degrees, Ireland - ‘Sunburnt' Irish Red Ale - https://www.eightdegrees.ie/beers/sunburnt/Rascals, Ireland - ‘Hazy in Love' IPA - https://rascalsbrewing.com/shop/hazy-in-love-ipa/And ‘Happy Days' Session Pale Ale - https://rascalsbrewing.com/shop/happy-days-session-pale-ale/Hope, Ireland - ‘Hop-On' Session IPA - https://hopebeer.ie/portfolio-item/hop-on-session-ipa/ Follow the Beer Ladies here:YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWBi3lGBJmdNZtLk-mj4cXgInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/beerladiespod/Twitter - https://twitter.com/beerladiespodFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/beerladiespodcastPlease follow, like, share, rate, review, subscribe, tell a friend...you can also support us on BuyMeACoffee (Beer) - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/beerladiespodSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/beerladiespod)

If you've ever been on a brewery tour, it's highly likely that you've been told that the Reinheitsgebot is the centuries-old German purity law regarding the only ingredients permitted for a beverage to be called “beer”. Carolyn, Katie, Lisa, and Thandi talk about the history of this law in Germany: what it is, when it was active, where exactly, and why. They discuss the possible role of religion in the law, myths and interpretations of the law in other countries, German breweries using other ingredients, and what their favourite German beer styles are. Beers in this episode:Live Oak, Austin TX, USA - ‘Primus' Weizendoppelbock 8% - https://untappd.com/b/live-oak-brewing-company-primus/9966Rothaus, Grafenhausen, Germany - Hefeweizen 5.4%- https://untappd.com/b/badische-staatsbrauerei-rothaus-hefeweizen-weizenzapfle/2393Hofbräuhaus, Munich, Germany - ‘Hofbräu' Oktoberfest 6.3% -- https://untappd.com/b/staatliches-hofbrauhaus-munchen-hofbrau-oktoberfestbier/40139#Spaten-Franziskaner-Löwenbräu, Munich, Germany - ‘Franziskaner Weissbier Naturtrüb' Hefeweizen 5% - https://untappd.com/b/spaten-franziskaner-lowenbrau-gruppe-franziskaner-premium-weissbier/14564Links:Will the real Reinheitsgebot please stand up?
