Interview from the BrewAsia Media Booth with Paul Jones, Co-founder of Cloudwater Brew Co  in Manchester, UK. This was a really thoughtful wide ranging conversation that delved into the depths of the industry. If you've only got time for one of these interviews I would make it this one. Paul was one of the key note speakers at BrewAsia & we were privileged to have him join us.

Join me for my third conversation with Paul Jones at Cloudwater, as they begin to contemplate their tenth birthday celebrations!

The city of Asheville may not even be in the top ten most-populated cities in North Carolina, but it might be the state's capital for breweries. Thanks to the generosity of listeners Benji and Suzanne, we drink five beers from Asheville (and the surrounding area) that represent a wide amount of styles - and Craig is absolutely giddy about a secret Chicagoland connection to one. Also, Craig has found a secret bag that is oddly fortuitous; Ryan's taking a week off to put on bread weight; and we'd like a spritz of that Red Vine Perfume, please.  Beers Reviewed Hillman Beer - Old Fort Original (American Lager) Zillicoah Beer Company - Bo Pils (Open-fermented Czech-style Pilsner) Cellarest Beer Project - Marakio (India Pale Lager fermented in a cherrywood foedre) Burial Beer Co.

When Cloudwater Brew Co. was founded in Manchester six years ago I was desperate to be the first to get the scoop on this exciting new brewery. This opportunity came in September 2015, when on a typically rainy Manchester day I met a smiling Paul Jones—the brewery's often outspoken owner and founder—at the entrance of his brewery for a tour, tasting and interview. The article I would subsequently write was published by Good Beer Hunting in January 2016, and was one of the first proper dives into what motivates Jones and his brewery, which at the time was single-mindedly focused on producing what it described as “Modern Seasonal Beer.”On re-reading the article in late 2020 it felt to me like it was written about what could be a different brewery. Yes, Cloudwater is still focused on producing high-quality, seasonally reflective beer, but in the years that have passed since, they've become something more. Not only has Jones grown his workforce from just six to over 50 people, but the brewery pays what is an industry-leading wage and is heavily invested in activism. From supporting charities like The Racial Justice Network, to giving breweries like Rock Leopard, Eko and Queer Brewing what Jones describes as a “leg up” by giving them time and space to make beer on its equipment, to its groundbreaking Wayfinder scheme, Cloudwater has since become a great deal more than merely the sum of its parts. This is not without some controversy. The decision to bring sales in house during the pandemic to, as Jones puts it “protect his staff” temporarily cutting off independent retailers from its beers caused a certain amount of ire. This was amplified in early 2021 when the brewery reversed its decision to list in national grocery chains, listing four beers contract brewed by BrewDog, no less, into Tesco. However, this also gave it the opportunity to further the platform of the Black and LGTBQ+ owned breweries it was working with by also giving them a national supermarket listing, the first instance of this happening in the UK. If you also consider that Cloudwater did not make a single redundancy during the pandemic, Paul's malleability in terms of his decision making might not seem so controversial to some.  In this interview we discuss all of this and more. It's been a busy few years for Paul Jones and Cloudwater, so this felt like the ideal way to reflect on them, on the Manchester scene, and how its own beers have changed and developed during this time. Please enjoy this fascinating, hour long conversation with one of the most vocal members of the UK beer industry.

While Rock Leopard is relatively new to the scene, Ayeh is not. He’s worked in the alcohol industry since 2002, when on a trip to Sweden he discovered Kopparberg cider. Seeing its potential he persuaded the company to let him be the UK agent, launching a brand that went on national prominence. Sadly larger distributors saw its potential too, and without an exclusivity agreement Ayeh was forced aside. That was the first of several setbacks that have come to plague Ayeh, but never define him. After frustrating experiences at controversial start-ups like London Fields Brewery and Magic Spells, he finally struck out on his own, determined to have complete control over his career. He founded Rock Leopard back in 2017 but spent years learning to brew himself, refining his recipes and getting feedback from the industry. Unfortunately, many retailers were resistant to buying his first few commercial contract-brewed beers and Ayeh suspects it had little to do with the liquid. In this episode we talk through his early career before exploring the possible ageism and racism that made opening Rock Leopard so hard, and how cornering Paul Jones of Cloudwater Brew Co at a tap takeover changed everything for the brewery. We also look at how Ayeh’s experiences have led him to add a strong equal rights campaign element to his brand, something he admits to being much more passionate about than the excellent beers he now produces.

This weeks conversation is with the wonderful Paul Jones, Owner and Managing Director of Cloudwater Brew Co. I can't even begin to tell you how much of their beer I have drank and how much of a fan I am, both of the brand and of Paul as a person.Cloudwater are Manchester based craft beer brewery who constantly stay ahead of the curve not only with beer but also with their ethics in the workplace and their attitude towards social issues. Did I mention I'm a huge fan?On the episode we talk about Paul's wonderful attitude towards change, his perspective on dealing with 2020, the Wayfinder project, his love of beer and people, what lies ahead for Cloudwater and so much more. I really hope you find it as encouraging and enjoyable as I did.

Hello and welcome to Episode 1 of Season 2 of The Thirst Time. The aim of The Thirst Time is to take a deep dive into that first beer that changed everything for some of the most creative, boundary-pushing, innovative and generally just all-round great people in the industry today and how that moment was the first step in the career they now find themselves in. this week we speak to Paul Jones owner & founder off Cloudwater Brew Co See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this week’s episode, we’re talking all about brewing IPAs with Pipeline Brewing Co’s Jonny Cooper. There’s not a shadow of a doubt that the craft beer revolution owes much of its success and prominence due to the humble India Pale Ale. As we all know through historians and beer writers, the passage to India back in the 18th century was a lengthy excursion, giving the beer ample opportunity to change in its qualities while stored in wood for prolonged periods. But there’s no denying that the humble IPA has long since been on an equally unparalleled voyage ever since. Rescued from closure in the 1960’s, Anchor Brewery - arguably one of American’s first craft breweries of the modern era - released Liberty Ale in 1975 and was the archetype for the modern day IPA. America’s love of extravagant flavours and hop-bills of biblical proportions counteracted the myriad of bland lagers offered from the same handful of multinational drinks corporations. Taking inspiration from English brewers such as Fullers, Smith & Turner breweries such as Sierra Nevada, Goose Island and Stone drove the IPA craze to dizzy new heights, showing us Brits what brewers could really do when unleashed with hops flowers and pellets. Whereas we gave the USA the template for the IPA, our Stateside cousins gave us Cascade, Chinook and the revered Citra. In an Atlantic rivalry that can only be matched by The Beatles and The Beach Boys, it wasn’t long before British brewers were taking American hops and smashing out punchy IPAs such as Jaipur, Gamma Ray, Cannonball and Punk IPA. And thus the cycle continues. When juicy, hazy IPAs came onto the scene several years back, Manchester’s Cloudwater Brew Co rode the crest of the wave producing bigger, bolder, fruiter IPAs - setting a new precedent for the capabilities of hop infused beers in this country. Most contemporary breweries of notoriety have largely gained their success off the back of a flagship IPA. (I’ve yet to meet a brewer who does not have several variations in their core range and plenty more in their back catalogue). The types of IPA are endless… check out this article by Matthew Curtis written for Mash Marketing about IPA styles and how a Session IPA is an oxymoron: https://www.mash.marketing/ipa IPAs sound easier to brew than they actually are… the good ones at least! One brewer who is making waves in the world of IPAs right now is Cornwall based brewery, Pipeline Brewing Co. Should their beers be placed in a blind tasting lineup with the usual suspects, it would be hard to tell the real Keyser Soze apart: they’re that good. There’s lots to be learned from Jonny - a passionate brewer with an insatiable thirst for juicy IPAs. I would highly recommend getting hold of his beers to taste and see for yourself that he certainly knows his stuff when it comes to brewing. --- BREWERY SHOUTOUTS Fierce & Noble are based a Bristol based brewery defined by independence, committed to brewing modern, seasonal beer, with a fierce intuition that makes them unemployable anywhere else.

I’m Jonny Garrett, and you’re listening to the Good Beer Hunting podcast. Today’s guest is Paul Jones, founder and sole owner of Cloudwater Brew Co. in Manchester, England. Since founding Cloudwater just five years ago Jones has, perhaps knowingly, become a spokesperson for the British beer industry. To be fair, he has plenty of right to that job. Cloudwater was previously voted the fifth-best brewery in the world by the users of RateBeer, and is one of the country’s fastest-growing beer businesses. Jones has also had a hand in many of the major developments in the U.K. beer scene—including New England-style brewing, canned beer, direct-to-consumer sales, off-site taprooms, and an emphasis on cold-chain distribution and storage. As we explore all of that, some listeners may perceive Jones’ self-championing as arrogance, but he’s the first to admit fault and is his own biggest critic, as you’ll hear throughout the interview. On the occasions I get a word in and challenge him, it’s clear he’s already asked himself the same questions a thousand times and played out all the scenarios in his mind—probably while wide awake in the middle of the night. We start the interview reminiscing about happier times, with what was perhaps a celebration of everything Cloudwater has achieved so far—the Friends & Family & Beer Festival, held in February. Bringing together an insane brewery list and a festival with charity and inclusivity at its heart it was supposed to be a signal of where beer was headed. Looking back now, it feels a bit like the last supper. After going through the highs and lows of running a fast-growing, much-hyped beer brand, I knew Paul would have some insight into how the beer scene and the beer industry—because they are very different things—will play out once the threat of COVID-19 fades. Jones has been ahead of the curve on so many occasions, and it’s worth taking note of what he says. While he’s had to change his expectations and the specifics, his approach remains the same—if you do the same thing as everyone else, you’re going to find yourself crowded out. In the face of the biggest challenge craft beer has ever faced, the fact that Jones is still excitable and upholding his admirable beliefs about beer, industry, and society is comforting—even if I don’t completely share his optimism. This is Paul Jones of Cloudwater Brew Co. Listen in.

We also spend a little longer than usual discussing toilets, but it all ties things together.⁣ ⁣ This team is creating unique works for Paul Jones and the team at Cloudwater, but are also doing a lot of other wonderful projects that make their story special. Believing in themselves from the beginning and deciding to go for it by being true to their visions is inspiring and motivation. ⁣ ⁣ I took a lot away from this one and know you will too. Enjoy and let us know if you can find a good island for us all to use for the next event.⁣

Garage Project’s Hāpi Festival and Symposium was held earlier this year in the lead-up to New Zealand’s hop harvest. The symposium and festival form the public-facing side of a hop-breeding initiative Garage Project has undertaken with New Zealand’s Freestyle Farms, and with backing from the country’s Ministry for Primary Industries. Over the course of a day in Wellington’s famous Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, speakers such as Alexandra Nowell from Three Weavers Brewing Company, Matt Brynildson from Firestone Walker Brewing Company, and Paul Jones from Cloudwater Brew Co. gave talks with a focus on hops. Good Beer Hunting was there to capture a slice of the discussion.   Afterwards, the invited breweries poured for a small festival of 1,000 people. It was a surreal situation: seeing world-renowned breweries like Trillium, Other Half, Hill Farmstead. Tired Hands and Cellarmaker serving beer in New Zealand’s national museum.  *** I was happy to talk to J.C. Hill from Alvarado Street Brewery, based in Monterey, California, as part of our Hāpi Festival and Symposium podcast series. I’d heard exciting things about his beers and loved the artwork on the labels. In our conversation, and in the following interviews, I really wanted to get an understanding of how the experience of visiting New Zealand hop fields would influence brewers when they got back into the brewhouse.  We also talk a bit about Cryo Hops, Italian Pilsners, and how good New Zealand tomatoes taste. Listen in.

The trio first made their presence known with the brewery’s “24/24” series: 24 beers released in 24 weeks to an eager Wellington public.  Since then, Garage Project has made its name by continuing to push boundaries with unusual creations and projects, such as layered beer designed to imitate a flat white, making beers for the Royal New Zealand Ballet, and even releasing a series of natural wines spiked with Lactobacillus or aged on unusual oak. Over the next seven years, they will also be working on the Hāpi project for the benefit of New Zealand’s hop growing industry. I had the chance to take Jos aside, as the festival was in full swing, so he could share just what it was all about. Listen in.

We learn that in part three of our Hāpi Festival and Symposium podcast series.  The Bruery, from Placentia, California is not a brewery that I had ever associated with hop-forward beers, so I was curious to know why they were at a hop symposium. It turns out, however, that The Bruery recently launched a side project focused on hoppy beers called Offshoot Beer Co., and its innovation manager Andrew Bell was on hand to tell us all about it.  As it is The Bruery, we also got to talking about Imperial Stouts. After our conversation, I tasted Share This: Mole Imperial Stout—if I’m honest, it may have been one of the best beers I tried all day. Listen in.

When I saw him pass me in the symposium hall, my immediate thought was, “Damn, that’s a nice Veil jacket.” Then I wondered why he looked familiar to me. It’s because The Veil was profiled in 2016 on Good Beer Hunting, complete with some incredible photography from Cory Smith. That story went live soon after the brewery launched; since then, Matt’s talents in the brewhouse have helped The Veil build a sterling reputation for hop-forward beers. In this fourth and final episode from our Hāpi Festival and Symposium, Matt also shares the story of his first helicopter experience, and even gives us a scoop on some expansion plans for the brewery. Listen in.

In this week’s episode, Nick ventures over the Pennines to one of the leading breweries in contemporary beer: Cloudwater Brew Co. However, if you’re expecting an episode about Cloudwater rise to success or how they obtain bold, punchy flavours in their beers, then think again! We caught up with founder and director, Paul Jones, in Cloudwater’s Unit 9 Tap Room to chat about mental health and the impact of negative social media - a.k.a Beer Twitter - on brewers in today’s industry. Paul shares his first-hand experience the triumphs and the criticisms Cloudwater have faced over their relatively short history, and how he and the team have managed to keep their head in the game.

For our first episode we focus on one of the UK's most popular craft beer breweries, Cloudwater Brew Co.  We sample 4 beers including the mighty Chubbles, we discuss the Friends & Family & Beer festival and we have a good old chat about our favourite beer styles.

In our 52nd episode, we talk to Connor Murphy of Cloudwater Brew Co. about organising the Friends & Family & Beer Festival. Ahead of the festival Connor tells us about putting together such an event including; how the festival came about, picking a venue, communicating with breweries, shipping beer in from around the world, getting volunteers, why its an all-in fest and learn about the guaranteed pours they are offering. Find out about the thinking behind the theme of the festival and how that translates into the beer world. Connor discusses the less glamorous side too, giving an insight into the amount of work that goes into putting on these types of events as well as giving details about the small things often overlooked by drinkers. Friends & Family & Beer happens on Fri Mar 1st and Sat Mar 2nd 2019. https://www.friendsandfamily.beer/ https://cloudwaterbrew.co/ https://twitter.com/cloudwaterbrew --------- www.beernomicon.com Available for free download on Soundcloud.

In episode three we’re going across the pond! Well, kinda. We hear from Beau’s Brewmaster about our take on the E.S.B.; we talk to former Fuller’s Brewmaster, the renowned UK beer expert, John Keeling; some British expats in Canada test out the Beau’s E.S.B.; and we hear the story of Eddy Earwigg tempting fate by wearing a West Brom jersey in the Man U section at at the notoriously divided Old Trafford football stadium in Manchester, UK — hilarity ensues. Eddy also talks to Paul Jones, co-founder of Cloudwater Brew Co.  That’s two of the UK’s most respected breweries in one episode!   Lagered Tales is a bi-weekly check-in from your friends at the employee-owned Canadian craft brewery Beau’s. Through interviews, storytelling and exciting regular features, we'll explore the intersecting worlds of craft beer, food, music, community and culture — and we’ll just generally talk to great people doing great things.   Follow us on Instagram and Twitter @beausallnatural, on Facebook @BeausBrewery.

Today’s episode is part of a series of talks we recorded at the Shelton Brothers festival back in August in Atlanta — a phenomenal gathering of some of the best brewers in the world, as well as a few niche cider and wine makers, all holding their own in one of the most diverse and interesting product portfolios that’s ever been assembled.  The folks from Shelton Brothers gave us a room, and free rein to curate talks with anyone we wanted, on any topics we wished.  It’s a somewhat speedy series of interviews, much shorter than you’re used to on GBH, and that’s because we wanted to see if a series of topics might emerge — a pattern of sorts, that might give us an indication of what’s on people’s minds at this point in time, in this particular portfolio of producers. And sure enough, it worked.  On a few of these episodes, other folks from GBH drop in from time to time as well, so you’ll also here from Blake Tyers and Kyle Kastranec
