Podcasts about breweries

Established in 2011 by General Manager and Brewster Claire Monk, Welbeck Abbey Brewery is situated on the Welbeck Abbey Estate.  Founded as a Premonstratensian monastery in 1153, after the Dissolution, the Abbey was bought by Bess of Hardwick's youngest son, Sir Charles Cavendish.As with many country estates, over time, the house and grounds have become a popular tourist attraction, pulling in crowds of people for a quintessentially English spot of afternoon tea and a gentle potter around.  Situated to the rear of the sprawling buildings, you'll find Welbeck Abbey Brewery, set in the heart of an artisan estate-village that produces specialist foods and crafts in a beautiful rural setting. Producing hand crafted ales using the estate's own spring water and a unique strain of nurtured yeast, the brewery now produces over 17,000 pints of award-winning ales each week, which they supply to local pubs, restaurants, and specialist bottle shops across the region and beyond.In this episode of the Hop Forward Podcast, we talk about the power of place with Claire and how they've built the brewery brand and marketing around the story of the abbey estate, while remaining relevant to drinkers in both the beer and pub space, as well as tourists who don't know the difference between an ale and a lager.We also chat about how swathes of people leaving the hospitality industry are leading to pub closures and how breweries finding it difficult to attract new talent onto their teams.Also on this episode, Nick catches up with David Griggs, Technical Director from Crisp Malt, to discuss malt consistency and the steps brewers can take in the brewhouse before blaming their barley!THIS WEEK'S EPISODE IS PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY:Charles Faram & Co (charlesfaram.com)Supplying hops for over 150 years, Charles Faram offers a vast range of nitrogen-flushed hop varieties from the UK, Europe, New Zealand, and the USA.Crisp Malt (crispmalt.com)Since 1870, Crisp has blended tradition with innovation, producing malts like Chevallier Heritage and Clear Choice Malt.FOLLOW HOP FORWARDhopforward.beer | LinkedIn | BlueSky | Instagram

Points of discussion:Q1: Should a brewery consider rebranding when expanding into new markets or reaching beyond its local audience?Q2: Is a full rebrand typically more effective, or can a strategic refresh of the existing identity be enough?Q3: If a company has worked with the same designer for years and is thinking about a brand refresh, how can they evaluate whether that OG designer is still the right fit? And if not, how should they navigate that tricky transition?Q4: How do you determine when a system like Left Field's templated approach makes sense, versus something more customized and illustration-driven like NoDa's?Q5: You mentioned that a rebrand usually isn't the first move when sales are declining, but your Wachusett example seems to break that rule. Why was a full rebrand the right call in their case?Q6: A lot of the work you showed uses a clear design system or template. How do you think about that approach compared to creating more individualized packaging within the same portfolio?Q7: When refreshing a brand, do you find it more effective to start from scratch, or to build on the existing identity and evolve what's already there?-Learn more at: www.craftbeerrebranded.com / http://www.beyondbeerbook.com-Have a topic or question you'd like us to field on the show?

Social media is an important part of our lives. We wish people a happy birthday, find out about births or deaths, stay in touch with people, are entertained by hilarious videos and get our opinions out across to everyone (for better or worse). Breweries use social media as well, a sort of visual Yellow Pages to get out their vision, their beers and their events to the masses. But with an everchanging world and social media constantly changing its rules, how do breweries adapt and change? In this episode of the All About Beer podcast, we talk to three guests about how they handle trolls, creating content, and showcasing what their brewery does in a thoughtful way that stays true to their brand values.

Quebec has one of the most exciting craft beer scenes in the country, and no new brewery has made quite the splash in the past year and change that Bad Bones has. Launching in the Summer of 2024, Bad Bones has dominated end-of-year lists and become a must-stop for any Quebec visit thanks to their murky, creamy New England IPAs. Co-Founder Zack and Brewer Ryan (who's also a fellow Southern Hemisphere kid) join Cee to chat about everything that's happened in the past year, their expansion with a new taproom in Dunham, their shared time spent learning from Derrick at BreWskey, their move into Lagers (which Ryan is spearheading), West Coast IPAs and stouts, how they still can't keep up with demand, the optimum time to consume Bad Bones beers, how visualization and meditation play a role for Zack (both in his healing journey and his business), and the state of craft beer. They got into five killer Bad Bones Extra Hoppy Ales - Pelvis Double NEIPA, Stretcher NEIPA, X-Ray Double NEIPA, What's My Age Again? NEIPA, and Screws NEIPA. This was a banger - cheers!

Mark Mongiardo shares the shocking truth behind years of being misunderstood, judged, and even criminally charged — all caused by a rare condition called Auto-Brewery Syndrome (ABS). Without drinking a drop of alcohol, his body would suddenly produce dangerously high blood-alcohol levels, leaving him intoxicated, confused, and fighting for his freedom and reputation.Mark opens up about losing his teaching career, facing felony prison time, and being labeled an alcoholic by coworkers and even family — all while knowing deep down that something wasn't right. His emotional diagnosis came only after two DWIs, a glucose challenge test, and relentless research by his mother and aunt. Once he finally had the truth, he began the long, painful journey of rebuilding his life from scratch.Through strict diet changes, nonstop monitoring, and unbelievable family support, Mark has become a voice for others silently suffering from ABS.

In a raw and inspiring conversation, Megan shares her unconventional path from industrial engineer to craft beer pioneer—including her garage microbrewery phase, the gut-wrenching decision to delay her brewery opening right before the 2020 shutdown, and her determination to create an inclusive, welcoming beer community that reflects her values.From small-town Iowa roots to navigating male-dominated industries, Megan opens up about the real barriers she faced securing funding, the unique culture she's built where 80% of job applicants are women, and why mindset is the ultimate business asset.

Send us a textPioneering brewery Rogue Ales announces closure.Reading the news of Rogue Ales' closing I saw several people react with surprise. These don't surprise me anymore, every brewery is at risk. Rogue isn't the biggest we've seen fall and I'm sure there will be more. It does still sting. Craft beer is really taking a beating.Rogue Ales is credited with introducing the "bomber" to the beer world. The 22 oz. bottles were extremely popular for a while. My cellar is still full of them. I recall drinking macros in 22s back in the day, but we called the Double Deuces. I thought it was before Rogue, but Rogue was launched in 1988, even before my drinking days began, so maybe they did introduce them. Props to Rogue for that one.Surprising news from the ashes of Iron Hill. Some of the recently closed locations have been purchased and may reopen, as Iron Hill. No real details on this one right now but we'll keep an eye out.Not beer news here but the hemp ban passed. We don't love the competition with craft but we also don't think an entire industry should be banned. We're adults here and should be able to make these choices on our own. The industry does have a year to prepare and efforts are definitely in motion to loosen the restrictions.In other news... GenZ invents coffee stout, Wilding Brands expands their portfolio with the purchase of Upslope Brewing, and a sweet new pinball machine is coming.Thanks for listening to Beer Guys Radio!

When Brian Grossman started working for the brewery his father co-founded he expected to be making beer right away. Instead he was put to work scrubbing out fermenters. Over the years at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. he has held a number of jobs in both the original Chico, California location and in the Mills River, North Carolina brewery. Today he goes by chief brewer and is increasingly becoming the public face of the venerable beer brand that just celebrated its 45th anniversary. Earlier today, shortly before the North Carolina brewery opened its doors to the public for pours of Celly Drippins, he sat down for a conversation about generations, responsibility, brewing and hops.

We talk about the evolution of ESB including some thoughts on Sierra Nevada winning gold in that category at the World Beer Cup with Pale Ale.

Oregon's second-largest brewery, Rogue Ales, just shut down after 37 years – owing over half a million in rent and taxes. But here's the kicker: this isn't just happening in Oregon. It's a nationwide brewery apocalypse, and guess what's driving it? The same progressive policies that promised to help workers and communities are literally killing the businesses that employ them. We dive into how skyrocketing costs, plummeting beer sales (down 20% since 2020), and anti-business policies in blue states are creating the perfect storm for economic destruction. From Seattle's mayor protesting against Starbucks to Portland's drug decriminalization disaster, we explore how ideological purity trumps economic reality every single time. When your expenses go through the roof but you can only charge so much for a beer, the math stops working – and that's exactly what's happening across America. Are we witnessing the death of craft brewing culture, or just the inevitable result of policies that sound good but destroy livelihoods? What do you think will be the next major industry to collapse under these pressures? Like and subscribe if you're tired of watching common sense businesses get crushed by uncommon nonsense policies!

The story of Guinness is one of great success, yes, but also turbulence. Together with historian Antonia Hart, Ned Guinness has produced a family history that doesn't shy away from the challenges faced, while shining a spotlight on some of the key figures in the ultimate success of the brand. Our story passes through events like 1798 and 1916, but there is also talk of the future. Please vote for The Dublin Pub: https://www.irishbookawards.ie/
