With the Commons in recess the pod heads down the pub for another episode looking at the UK's hospitality industry and the struggles it continues to face - with a host of global headwinds and domestic policy contributing to a bleak outlook for the sector in 2025. Joining host Alain Tolhurst for a pint in The Westminster Arms, a stones throw from Parliament, is Conservative MP Richard Holden, vice chair of the all-party parliamentary group on Pubs and the Shadow Paymaster General, Morgan Schondelmeier, policy manager on tax and trade at the British Beer and Pub Association, Ellie Hudspith, campaigns manager for CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, Steve Alton, CEO of the British Institute of Innkeeping, and Jonny Garrett, chair of the British Guild of Beer Writers and co-host of the Craft Beer Channel. They discuss what the government can do to help this crucial part of the economy, that not only contributes £54 billion in tax receipts, £20 billion in exports, and is the third largest employer in the UK - but also plays a vital role in the country's social fabric - after it was hit by the triple of whammy of rising business rates, a National Insurance hike, and increased staff costs, this month.To sign up for our newsletters click herePresented by Alain Tolhurst, produced by Nick Hilton and edited by Ewan Cameron for Podot
Welcome back to Hospitality Meets, where we dive into the stories behind the people who keep the hospitality world buzzing!
For the past few months I have been considering a very specific subgenre of British beer, its place in the wider culture of British beer, and my own enjoyment of it. You might call the beverages within this category by the name saison, sour, barrel-aged, or even mixed-fermentation. None of these terms, however, feel like they do this category, how exciting it is, or what it actually means to people justice. The reasons why they don't are multifaceted—not to mention complicated—but the reason why it's important that we do find the terminology to describe them is because of the vast range of quality and deliciousness producers of these sorts of beers are making. Some of the most stunning things I have drunk over the last 12 months have so often been left to mature in barrels or foeders, typically with a variety of yeasts and bacteria, and sometimes other ingredients ranging from foraged herbs to harvested fruits. I estimate that there are at least 50 producers of these beers within the UK at the moment (and as part of this project I hope to catalogue them). Some of these producers, like Balance in Manchester and Mills in Gloucestershire, are making these kinds of beers outright. Others, like Burning Sky in Sussex and The Kernel in London are making them alongside an existing range of “clean” beers. Now there's a word that easily defines a pale ale, lager or IPA. For some reason, though, I don't think “dirty” is going to work for the beers we're trying to talk about here. But what about “wild?” Sure, it's not not perfect, and I don't think there's a one size fits all solution here, but it works for me. (And how the hell do you present a beer like this to someone who doesn't know anything about them and call them “mixed-fermentation?” Honestly, it's an overly technical term that does nothing to describe how a beer actually tastes, and we need to move on from it.)There's a lot of work to do to unpack the excitement occurring in British Wild Beer, and that's a project I have assigned myself this year. This podcast, recorded in June 2024 at FyneFest, was pretty much the starting point for that thinking. It features an all-star cast, including The Kernel's Evin O'Riordain, Burning Sky's Mark Tranter, Will Harris from Balance Brewing and Blending, plus Dan Wye, who spearheads Fyne Ales own wild beer project: Origins. For a long time I have been asking “who are these beers for,” and you will hear me ask it as part of this panel discussion. Perhaps the biggest lesson this chat taught me is that this doesn't matter, but the beers that are being made definitely do. It's time we found the language that helps place them into the wider culture of British Beer.We're able to produce The Pellicle Podcast directly thanks to our Patreon subscribers, and our sponsors Loughran Brewers Select.

We could be heading for a shortage of carbon dioxide. Yes, you read that right, despite carbon emissions hitting record levels in 2022, CO2 for use in the food and drink industry is in short supply. CO2 is used all across the sector, soft drink production of course, but also meat processing, brewing, baking, and many many others But with the soaring price of natural gas, dwindling supply, and the shutdowns of CO2 plants in Cheshire and Teeside, there are fears that major shortages are just around the corner. We have been here before. Significant CO2 scarcity in 2018 sent shockwaves through the industry. But could we be facing an even worse situation this time around? Prices of CO2 are already rocketing, so what can the industry do to prepare itself?

*'Over the course of the past two decades beer as we know it has changed forever. Taking their cues from the craft beer revolution in the US and the resurrection of traditional styles in continental Europe, the brewers of Great Britain and Northern Ireland have carved out a unique and world leading beer culture'* (Excerpt from *Modern British Beer).In today's show I am joined by Matthew Curtis - Matthew is an award-winning writer, photographer and author based in Manchester, England. His work has been published in BEER, Ferment and Good Beer Hunting. Originally from Lincolnshire, he spent 15 years in London, where he discovered his enthusiasm for all things beer. In 2019 he launched his own magazine Pellicle, with long-time friend and brewer, Jonny Hamilton. He is the author of An Opinionated Guide to London Pubs and has just brought out his latest book, *Modern British Beer.

If you're still nursing the post-New Year blues or hope to cut down your drinking a bit for ‘22, London's first alcohol-free off-licence has opened as a pop-up in the West End.The shop is run by former Islington Liberal Democrat councillor Laura Willoughby, who founded her Club Soda startup to help people with “mindful drinking”, spurred by an energy boost after giving up alcohol herself a decade ago.Now, the month-long pop-up on Great Portland Street is stacked with low and no-alcohol drinks, from beer to vodka and even pre-mixed negronis.It comes as the British Beer & Pub Association said Britons were set to drink nearly 8 million pints of low-and no-alcohol beer this month amid Dry January resolutions.

Karin Smyth, Labour's shadow health and social care minister, wants clarity from Boris Johnson on omicron measures such as school closures. If the Government had acted sooner on the new variant the U.K. wouldn't be revisiting the trauma of last year with another crisis days before Christmas, she tells Bloomberg's Caroline Hepker and Yuan Potts. Plus Emma McClarkin, CEO of the British Beer and Pub Association, says restrictions have undermined consumer confidence. She wants the Government to provide extra support as pubs might not make it through leaner winter months. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com
The start of 2020 was an especially weird time for me—not just for the obvious reasons with the pandemic swirling around us in those early stages—but because right at the cusp of it I signed a book deal. I'd come up with the rough idea and concept for Modern British Beer in 2018, having thought at length about how the emergence of well over 1000 new breweries in the UK had changed our beer culture forever. But what I didn't realise then was the idea needed time. Some of that was to allow the idea to properly gestate and to become fully formed, but the rest of it was waiting to find the right home for it. That home turned out to be the capable hands of CAMRA Books; the publishing arm of the Campaign for Real Ale, and the gracious editing of Alan Murphy and Katie Button, to whom I am incredibly thankful. In this episode I work through the ideas at the book's core. I explore how I created my own personal beer philosophy, which I call “the broad spectrum of joy” as well as explaining why my definition of what constitutes beer as being “modern”, at least, in context of the book and how I think about beer these days. I then try to explain (or make excuses for) how I selected the 86 beers to use as case studies which, together, I hope form a solid case for how I feel beer in the UK has changed so dramatically over the past 20 years—but also, in many ways, has stayed exactly the same as it has always been.I've also used this episode as a chance to pick up on some current affairs—namely, the controversy presently surrounding Denmark's Mikkeller Brewing company in the wake of numerous accusations of sexual harassment and toxic workplace culture from several former employees. This situation escalated on the eve of the brewery's annual Mikkeller Beer Celebration Copenhagen (MBCC) event in late October, which saw over 40 breweries pull out at the 11th hour so as not to associate their brand with the accused. Kate Bernot at Good Beer Hunting has been covering this in some detail for several months, and I recommend catching up on what's happening by reading her excellent reporting here:https://www.goodbeerhunting.com/sightlines/2021/7/1/former-mikkeller-employees-allege-culture-of-bullying-harassment-and-indifferencehttps://www.goodbeerhunting.com/sightlines/2021/10/29/mikkeller-meetings-a-chaotic-situation-as-brewery-focuses-on-hr-issues-not-survivors-voicesModern British Beer is available now from all good retailers, including several brewery tap rooms and bottle shops.

Joining us this week is Matthew Curtis, an award-winning freelance writer, broadcaster and author based in Manchester. You may be familiar with his work as Editor-in-Chief of Pellicle Magazine, a publication and podcast focused on beer, cider, wine, food and travel. Matt's most recent book, Modern British Beer, is the focus of our conversation. The book itself provides a look at eighty different beers produced annually in the UK. In sharing the perspectives of the producers - and the tasting notes of the beers themselves in first person narrative - Matt highlights the diversity of these beverages and how they are a reflection of place, values and ethics. Our conversation dives into the aspects of modernity, the influence continental and American producers have had on the flavors and production practices he documents, and the space these beers occupy in an evolving contemporary European beer market. We also consider who drinkers of modern British beer are, where traditional brewers sit in the landscape Matt describes, and the statement CAMRA - the Campaign for Real Ale - made by publishing this book. Modern British Beer can be purchased directly from the publisher HERE.

A leading scientist has told the Evening Standard people should enjoy “life that looks vaguely normal” this weekend as temperatures rise for the bank holiday. Sir John Bell, Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford University, says he's confident vaccines are working against the Indian variant of Covid-19, but is warning people to remain cautious.That would lead to the government being able to lift final lockdown restrictions on June 21st, but the British Beer and Pub Association fears many of its members won't make it.With some restrictions still in place, around 2,000 bars have not been able to re-open. It's predicted around half of the number of pints expected to be sold this weekend will actually be served.The Association's chief executive, Emma McClarkin, joins the podcast to tell us why even with the sun coming out this spring bank holiday may leave some publicans with nothing to celebrate.

Boris Johnson has suggested pub landlords could require proof of vaccination before they let people in - once they reopen. Clive Betts, Labour MP for Sheffield South East tells Bloomberg Westminster's Caroline Hepker and Roger Hearing it could be a reasonable way for pubs to make sure they are not putting the rest of their visitors at risk, and that customers will have to accept an element of restriction. But Emma McClarkin, CEO of the British Beer & Pub Association says her industry has not been consulted so far on this and that it would be impractical.
Starting the show is Richard Tice. Professor Karol Sikora and Mike talk Coronavirus latest, and where the UK is at with vaccinations. Bobby Friedman and Mike chat about the importance of small talk.

When you think of these beers, the first country that springs to mind is Belgium, not England. But perhaps it's time to think again, as this style has long (if not strong) roots in the UK.

Secondly, Jan from Butchers Tears gives a practical lesson in British barrel-aging history via their new version of a classic English beer: Aruspex, an Old Burton Ale.

Emma has had a fascinating career working in the heart of government in the EU, in part negotiating trade deals. Great timing for a chat that starts with Emma’s thoughts on the EU and our opportunities and risks as we hurtle towards departure. You’ll be pleased to hear Emmas is pretty optimistic on post EU trade, particularly where the export of exceptional British beer is concerned of course. We also chat about Emma’s experience liaising directly with the government on the behalf of the BBPA’s members, representing over half of the pubs in the UK (that’s 20k) and 90% of the brewing industry. They are an important voice, and we discuss how it felt like as the relationship between government and the sector was very strong in spring, but really broke down over the summer recess period. We also touch on wether a minister for hospitality would make the ear of government better or worse, why on earth the government is being so slow in extending support into next year as is happening in Europe, and some of the longer term issues such as Beer Duty and business rates that have been negatively skewing the sector long before COVID appeared on the scene.

We gauge the business impact of a second national lockdown due in England from Thursday. Adam Hewson runs two bookshops in London which will have to close, and offers his reaction to the news. And Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association tells us how the hospitality sector is likely to be hit. Meanwhile the BBC's Maddy Savage in Stockholm explains how Sweden's far less stringent approach to combating the coronavirus pandemic has played out there. Also in the programme, European budget airline Ryanair has reported a loss of close to €200m and says passenger numbers have dropped by 80% as a result of Covid-19. Chief executive Michael O'Leary discusses the outlook for the business. Plus, at a time when trust in government is at an all-time low in many parts of the world, some believe companies should step up and solve some of the world's biggest problems. Our regular workplace commentator Stephanie Hare explores how such firms might go about building a moral compass.
In this episode Christian is joined by the chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association, Emma McClarkin, who represents over 20,000 pubs and whose members are responsible for 90 per cent of the beer brewed in the UK. Emma describes how pubs and brewers have responded to the lockdown and how they've fared since being allowed to reopen. She warns the government to find clarity on its messages around local lockdowns and says any fresh move to close pubs would prove fatal to many of her members. She also slams the government's anti-obesity plans which would see pubs required to publish the calories of all food and drinks. Despite the challenges, Emma is optimistic that the British public's love affair with the pub is far from over. Also in this episode Christian looks at fresh economic analysis showing the impact lockdown has had on London's business districts; HSBC's latest results; and some positive news from UK manufacturing.

Hop Forward: Getting You Ahead in the Brewing and Beer Business
In this week's episode, we catch up with Neil Walker, Head of Comms & Marketing for the Society of Independent Brewers Association (
Guinness was founded in Dublin in 1759. It was first brewed by Arthur Guinness, a brewmaster who dabbled originally with Ale's untill he caught wind of a popular new British Beer being imported to Ireland known as Stout. Arthur decided to brew his own in a disused Dublin brewery which he leased for 9,000 years at the rate of $60 bucks annually. This was the first of many brilliant business and marketing moves Arthur and his kin would carry out into the 20th Century. Guinness is notorious for their one of a kind marketing intially with bold slogan's like 'Guinness Is Good For You' which worked so well pregnant Irish women would drink a glass a day. Guinness now denies these claims but there is true evidence that it is good for your heart and the Blonde Lady in a Black Dress only packs 198 calories. I really need to drink more of that, or maybe less in general.

Make sure you leave a rating and a review for the show right there in your app. It helps us out a great deal. On today's offering the guys take a quick break from Ontario Craft and try a little something from overseas and get in to a discussion on how the British beer scene may differ from our own. And then. Things get a little nuts as we poke fun at an AskMen article on some of the most common sex injuries that people are running in too. Please don't send us yours! Later on, medical experts are actually having to advise people that sticking frozen potato slices up your ass won't make your haemorrhoids go away. This is pretty much the point where the podcast goes off the rails with hysterics. Also on this show: Some internet weirdos have started a trend of recording themselves playing their mothers boobs like a drum and the voice actor who plays Apu on The Simpsons has refused to continue voicing the character. Join us for a laugh during a crazy time. You can find tons more at www.tallcanaudio.com Or follow us on Twitter & Instagram @TallCanAudio
Pete Brown has one of the best jobs in the world. He's a food and drink writer. He is the chair of the British Guild of Beer Writers, been British Beer Writer of the Year 3 times and also won 3 Fortnum and Mason food and drink awards. Yet, all that seems to do him a disservice. Pete is a fantastic cultural commentator, drawing on history to talk passionately about society.His first book, 'Man Walks into a Pub', is a pub-crawl through the history of beer, and Pete began working on it after discovering the book that he wanted to read didn't exist - so he wrote it. He's also published a history of London through the eyes of one pub, 'Shakespeare's Local', and his newest book 'Pie Fidelity' aims to reclaim the joy of British cuisine.We talk about how he has analysed the way he works over the years to get better at writing, also about how he chooses which project to work on next, and about why the pomodoro technique works for him. There's tips on planning your book, finding the best way to get into a story, and how to find an unexpected joy in the narrative voice. Also, I was lucky enough to chat to Pete in his actual writing room, so there's a vivid description of that.If you enjoy the show, please do support us at patreon.com/writersroutine, and rate and review over on Apple Podcasts.ALSO - this one contains some swears.@writerspodwritersroutine.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Hop Forward: Getting You Ahead in the Brewing and Beer Business
As an industry, we’ve come a long way over the past 10 years. But at the start of a new decade, there's no denying that British beer has a tough job ahead of it. Whereas many of the slogans and marketing phrases that small, independent brewers used to pride themselves are now, sadly, meaningless; and as consumer demand for newer, bolder, wilder and more extreme beers only increases, solely relying on brewing a ‘great product’ and ‘letting the beer talk for itself’ simply won’t cut the mustard anymore. This week, we're joined by beer writer and host of the Craft Beer Channel, Jonny Garrett, to discuss what lies in store for the future of British beer as we head in the roaring 20's. Nick and Jonny talk about everything from GMO yeasts, the implications of Brexit, which brewers will be vulnerable to the market changes, and why marketing will be more important than ever for brewers looking to distinguish themselves in an ever crowded landscape. --- Today's show is sponsored by Premier Systems, creators of BrewMan, the UK’s No.1 brewery management software, used by over 200 breweries and distilleries of all sizes. The end-to-end system covers all back office functions such as CRM, stock control, distribution, cask tracking, reporting, raw material purchase ordering and traceability.

Today’s guest is Brigid Simmonds, Chief Executive of the British Beer & Pub Association, a role she’s held for the past 10 years. We talk about the many different aspects of Brigid’s role, her previous work experience and how she got to the role she’s in today, the accomplishment she’s most proud of, and a whole lot more. I will note that as Brigid represents many member breweries on behalf of the BBPA, she admitted it would be a bit too tough to narrow down just one beer of choice. So we skipped the beer this time, but there’s still plenty of chat! Here she is…

Stephen Barclay, Minister of State at the Department of Health and Social Care, sees the opportunities outweighing the obstacles for a post-Brexit NHS, but are any lives at risk? He joins Chopper to discuss. Also in the episode, we ask think tank director Henry Newman to explain the ways in which the EU and the UK could reach a deal this autumn, take the temperature of grassroots tories with Conservative Home’s Josh Lambkin, talk post-Brexit booze with Brigid Simmons, Chief Executive of the British Beer and Pub Association -- and Professor Matthew Goodwin makes a strong case for comparing Theresa May’s premiership with the police tactics in Die Hard.
The boys are back after a rough week off to discuss how Facebook political arguments are meaningless, when Britain might riot because of C02, how Jim Bakker plans to cure VD and why the Fourth of July sucks out loud.
A CO2 shortage in the U.K. is threatening the supply of carbonated beverages, including Coca Cola. The limited supply is due to an “unusually high number of closures” of the factories, which produce the gas as a byproduct of the fertilizer industry, according to The Telegraph. There is currently only one carbon dioxide plant operating in the region, and at least five other producers across northern Europe are offline for maintenance. “The U.K. is the worst hit country — only one of its plants is currently operational. The gas is difficult and expensive to import, meaning food and drink producers tend to depend on local suppliers,” The Telegraph reports in an article on the shortage, which is impacting not only the carbonated beverage industry, but poultry production, as well. One of the plants in the U.K. that’s currently shut down is expected to reopen sometime this week, the outlet reports. But in the meantime, companies like Coca Cola are feeling the impact. “We are currently responding to an industry-wide issue that is impacting the supply of CO2 in the U.K. Our focus is on limiting the effect this may have on the availability of our products,” a Coca-Cola European Partners Great Britain spokesperson told Fox News in a statement. “During this time we temporarily paused some of our production lines for short periods, however there has been no disruption to supply to date and we are continuing to fulfil orders to our customers. We are working closely with our suppliers, partners and customers on a number of solutions as the situation develops,” the statement said. However, others are claiming the shortage is in fact being felt by consumers of the popular soda. “This contradicts what some suppliers have been telling their customers,” Rupert Evelyn, a reporter for ITV, wrote on Twitter. Others backed up Evelyn’s claim. “I was in Bookers today and they were limiting purchases of fizzy drinks as a result of shortages,” a user by the name of Jo R tweeted. The beer industry has taken a hit, as well. “It’s already stopping production,” Brigid Simmonds, head of the British Beer and Pub Association, told the BBC. The British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) represents both brewers and 20,000 pubs in the U.K. Simmonds said 82 percent of the beer consumed in the U.K. is also produced there and one CO2 supplier told her it wouldn’t be until early July before it was able to get limited production back. The post Coca Cola facing production problems due to CO2 shortage in UK appeared first on DAPULSE.
In this episode we have a beer with famed beer author Pete Brown at the Camden Town Brewery in London, England, chatting about his background in marketing and beer, his latest book Miracle Brew, the Beer and Cider Marketing Awards, the craft beer and food scene in the U.K., and more.

The UK’s independent brewing scene is booming. Recent figures from the British Beer and Pub Association put the number of active breweries in the UK at more than 2,000, meaning that the UK has more breweries than any other European nation. At the heart of this growth have been the UK’s metropolitan areas, cities such as London, Manchester, Newcastle, Bristol, and many more. But thankfully, that growth hasn’t been restricted to the cities, with more breweries choosing to establish themselves in smaller towns and in rural areas. We’ve even seen established city breweries such as Redchurch in London, start to build production facilities outside of these city hubs. Earlier this year I interviewed Dan Lowe, who co-founded Fourpure Brewing Co. with his brother Tom in 2013. Dan spoke to me about how Fourpure was planning a move similar to Redchurch's, in that they were looking at expanding to a purpose-built brewery on a greenfield site on the outskirts of London. But Fourpure changed its plans (for the time being, at least), choosing to invest more than £2 million ($2.7M) in its existing site in South London. This expansion will involve a new brewhouse, more capacity, and more lab and QC space. Eventually, they’ll also double the size of their taproom. This, along with a whole bunch of other local breweries, including Partizan, Pressure Drop, and Mondo, also investing in their London sites, is indicative that there is still a lot of room here for growth. This growth is also giving newer, smaller breweries a chance to establish themselves too, as the expanding breweries move into other markets, thus freeing up space at the point of entry. Recently, I headed down to Fourpure, at the end of the Bermondsey Beer Mile, to catch up with both Dan and Tom. We talk about everything above and more.

Originally from the UK, David first arrived in China in 2006. After a couple different entrepreneurial ventures, David, together with his brother, James, began Westwood Ales, bringing the love of British beer to China with the intention of making a national brand. In this episode, David shares how business success happens at the intersection of passion and expertise... Not to mention, it includes probably one of my favorite bloopers reels to date!
This programme is the first of three focusing on British beer styles - and looking at what beer styles mean. We start by looking at British IPAs and taste Fuller's Bengal Lancer as a classic example of the style. Later in the show we also hear from renowned brewer Derek Prentice (British Guild of Beer Writers Brewer of the Year) who recently retired from Fuller's Brewery and he reminded us of of another classic IPA you might want to try: Worthington White Shield We discuss the difference between American IPAs and British IPAs, the impact of the style on the craft beer scene and its importance for brands. We have 'A Pint With' Paul Nunny, Director (and founder) of Cask Marque - the organisation which accredits pubs serving cask ale in tip top condition. (Apologies for some of the odd noises in the background of the interview!) Then we jump ahead (as a result of some beer availability issues) to look at porter and its London roots and we taste an example from the Isle of Man, Okell's Aile. The blended beer we mention while discussing porters is Greene King 5X and if you can't make it to the Great British Beer Festival to join the huge queue you will find some 5X blended into Greene King's Strong Suffolk Dark Ale. In this episode we cover the styles. Tune in next month for part 2 where we'll be covering two more British styles
