Podcasts about elusive brewing

It's the Valentine's Day gift you've been hoping for, another episode of Daftaboutcraft, the craft beer podcast!There's a distinctly Welsh feel to this episode as we feature not one but two breweries based in the land of the dragon. First up are Axeljack Brewery, aka Craig and Ian, who only started their South Wales-based brewery in August 2023, but have wasted no time in releasing quality beer. While Craig looks after the brewing, father-in-law Ian takes care of the business, and the pair place the emphasis squarely on flavour with their beers. Dave D was very impressed by one beer in particular - find out which one and where you can get hold of it.It's Wales to the fore in Brew To Me, as Dave B samples a beer from Geipel Brewing in Corwen. Brewer Erik has an interesting background, and is dedicated to showcasing lager and its varieties. For Dave D, it's a trip to Skipton and Two Rocks Brewing Co and their Dry Hopped Pale Ale, which belies its modest 2.5% ABV.For Hype or Tripe, we saddle up and hit the Oregon Trail, and road test some beefed-up versions of Elusive Brewing's most well-known beer, while The Brewer's Wife talks about the perils of social media. To share or not to share?We are sponsored by online bottle shop Hops At Home, and Andy Marsh appears with a trio of tempting discounts to take advantage of. Eagle-eared listeners may also work out what our big surprise is, which will be fully disclosed on the next episode! Daftaboutcraft is produced by us two guys, called Dave. We're massive fans of the craft beer scene and we release a new episode every three weeks. Check us out on Instagram, X and Facebook too!

It almost doesn't need repeating but breweries, like many businesses in the wider world of hospitality, have much to contend with in recent months and years.As we continue to adjust, post-pandemic, to what normal is - if there still is such as thing -  there are also other pressures to deal with.A cost of living crisis, rising energy costs and staff shortages are all major hurdles to producing and selling your beer.And last week, HMRC published its guidance to the upcoming changes to Alcohol Duty.Effective from the 1st August, HMRC outlined the rates of duty and also the new reliefs for draught products and small producers.But how might these affect you?Thankfully Andy Parker, the founder of Berkshire's Elusive Brewing, is on hand to explain.Recorded live yesterday at our Brewers Lectures in Bristol, Andy spoke on the background to these measures and shared some examples on how these revised rates could impact your brewery.And thanks to Andy, his presentation is also available to view and download right below, too. https://www.brewersjournal.info/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Andy-Parker.pdf

Today's guest is Ruth Mitchell, Operations Director at Elusive Brewing. Ruth has been with Elusive for just about a year now, but her promotion to Operations Director was relatively recent. As the role was still very new when we spoke, she tells us a bit about what her current day-to-day looks like, the vision for the future, and what her previous role as Head of Sales, Marketing and Events entailed. We then go all the way back to the beginning of Ruth's career in beer which has seen her work in sales roles for breweries including Adnams, Charles Wells, West Berkshire, Utopian and now Elusive. (She's also spent some time in gin sales, too!) As you'll hear, she's got a wealth of experience and knowledge to share, including advice on how to get started in a career in beer, the skills it takes to succeed in sales and much more. Finally, Ruth tells us what she enjoys most about being a part of the beer industry. (Just a quick heads-up Ruth's adorable sausage dog Bertie was in the room with her during our conversation, so you'll hear him chime in on occasion. Hopefully it's not too distracting!) Here's Ruth…

Anyone who has ever attempted to describe the flavours and aromas of a beer will know that putting language to what's in the glass is both challenging, subjective and needs the right terminology.But what if we don't possess the language for ourselves or a customer doesn't quite know what they're after, but they certainly know what they don't want...!As brewers, bar staff and bottle shop owners, it's our job to be able to help consumers navigate the turbid waters of Hazy IPAs and describe the 'soft, pillowy grapefruit' that awaits them upon first pour.In his latest reiteration of the Flavour Wheel, beer writer and educator Mark Dredge joins Nick this week to talk about how we talk about flavour and aroma and put language to beer.  Pick up a copy of the Flavour Wheel or the pack of 6 from beerdredge.comTHIS WEEK'S EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY LALLEMAND BREWINGLallemand Brewing, a division of Lallemand Inc., a global producer of yeast and bacteria, is helping breweries achieve their growth and quality goals by offering products, services, and education.Lallemand Brewing's premium brewing yeasts and bacteria deliver unmatched consistency, reliability, and purity, allowing brewers to take full control of the brewing process.At the forefront of innovation, Lallemand Brewing recently launched several dry yeast products: LalBrew Voss, LalBrew Verdant IPA, and WilBrew Philly Sour.For more information about Lallemand products in the UK please contact our local representative Andrew Paterson, global contacts details for the UK and other territories can be found via our website www.lallemandbrewing.comADDITIONAL SUPPORT FROM CRISP MALTSince 1870, Crisp Malt has been producing the finest malt at Great Ryburgh in Norfolk.

Luke and Andrew sit down with Andy from Elusive Brewing for a special bonus episode where we match music with THE CHRISTMAS BEER THAT WE COLLABED ON WITH ELUSIVE (sorry, I leaned on the shift key there for a bit). We also talked about where Elusive came from, why collabs are so good and how Tom Waits has produced the least Christmassy Christmas song yet.Beers include:Elusive Brewing - Twenty Ferrets in a Red Suit (Imperial Chocolate Orange Stout) paired with:-The Boy Least Likely To - George and AndrewKate Rusby - Hippo for ChristmasGreg Lake - I Believe in Father ChristmasTom Waits - Christmas Card from a Hooker in MinneapolisGoddamit Jeremiah - What if Santa Claus is just Twenty Ferrets in a Red SuitIf you want to purchase some Twenty Ferrets, use the offer code FERRET10 for a little something off the end. Theme tune is I Can Hew by Mawkin, from their album The Ties That Bind.

On this week's episode of the Hop Forward Podcast, Nick travels to Brewery Market on the historic Church Street in Twickenham, the Drinks Retailing Awards 'Independent Beer Retailer of the Year 2021'.Linda, Denis, Steph and a few of our locals appear on an impromptu episode called A Late Night Chat in an Indie Bottle Shop.  We discuss everything from beers, lambics, starting and running a small business, right through to the impacts of social media on businesses and how one person even travelled from Leeds just to visit the shop due to its reputation.The conversation is casual - the sort of thing you'd expect over a few beers late into the night.Please note: there is a bit of excessive background noise to start with, which dies down after around 10 minutes or so - the rest of the audio from thereon is much more palatable.THIS WEEK'S EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY CRISP MALTSince 1870, Crisp Malt has been producing the finest malt at Great Ryburgh in Norfolk.

To celebrate Elusive Brewing's 5th birthday, Andy and the team joined forces with homebrewing store The Malt Miller to launch a national competition.  With a prize of £1000 at stake, a collaboration and mentorship from Elusive Brewing to help one lucky budding homebrewer go pro, the competition saw entries come in thick and fast from brewers reinterpreting Elusive's Belgium Witbier, Crisp Witty.Taking first place, Sam Jones and his fellow homebrewer companion Fraser Withers - who came a respective fourth - as it happens, were in the process of turning their passion into a profession, setting up Middle Child Brewing.In this episode, Nick catches up with Sam and Fraser to discuss the competition, how they intend to take their endeavour forward, all while we sample some of their excellent beers.On Saturday 30th October, Middle Child Brewing and Elusive Brewing will be doing a tap take over at Brewery Market in Twickenham.  If you're UK based, we'd love to see you down there!THIS WEEK'S EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY CRISP MALTSince 1870, Crisp Malt has been producing the finest malt at Great Ryburgh in Norfolk.

You're listening to the bubble, the podcast turning beer inside out. This week Jonny heads down to Elusive Brewing, a microbrewery in Woking, England to meet founder Andy Parker. Andy is a bit of a celebrity in the homebrewing world, having written books on the topic and inspired hundreds more beer geeks to take up the mash paddle. After winning £5,000 in a homebrew competition, though, he decided to found a commercial brewery and bring his enthusiasm for experimentation and a wide variety of styles to the public. We talk to him about that journey, but also get his tips and thoughts on one of the most involved, expensive and exciting hobbies in the world.Brought to you by the team behind the Craft Beer Channel, The Bubble takes an irreverent look at beer from the outside, inviting new people to give us their perspective on the world we're all obsessed with.
