This time around the fellas are chatting about VOIDKIND, the new release from Scottish prog sludge band DVNE. It's a strong record and the guys have plenty to say about it. Grab yourself some snacks and a cold one (we'd recommend some haggis with cracked pepper crisps and a Harviestoun…) and drop in for the convo! The video version is up now on YouTube (if you've got the stones to look at the ugly mugs of the Shit Talk trifecta!)Check the site at https://www.shittalkreviews.com for all the other reviews, podcasts and general noise. #dvne #voidkind #metal #progmetal #sludge #postmetal #podcast #albumreview #mainebeercompany

THE PENULTIMATE EPISODE or if you're basic like Amanda the second to last episode of Season 2 is here! We're drinking some delicious beer from Brew York and Harviestoun. We get some life updates from Amanda & Becki, but most importantly for the first time on Homebrewed Feminism, we have an episode specifically to help the White People. Even if you are the most Anti-racist of the Anti-racists you probably have some blind spots. If you're thinking "I could definitely be doing more with my Anti-racism" then you're like us! Featuring the Facing Ourselves Podcast this week we learn what kinds of racism there are so we can start identifying it and doing the work. There are some awesome recommendations at the end of this one so don't miss it! For show notes and a full list of references, please visit our website.
JE Kerr from Harviestoun is possibly the most accomplished livestock breeder of all time. In this episode we discuss his incredible record for nearly 60 years with Aberdeen Angus cattle, including the source of the great Erica family, with well known cattleman, Duncan McLaren. Kerr's achievements at the Royal Highland show are unequaled and we look at some of the breeds and species that he championed with. We go on to speak with his granddaughter and her husband about the Shetland ponies and Clydesdale horses, as well as the trophies that adorned the walls of Harviestoun castle.
This week we have a special podcast, listening to an interview I did with legendary stockman Bert Rugg in 2015. This may be one for the Aberdeen Angus purists as he chats about his career with great herds such as Harviestoun, Lindertis, Westdrums and Thorn, and then Lowney. Bert mentions famous bulls such as Bosun of Haymount, Election of Thorn, and, of course world record breaker, Lindertis Evulse, in addition to great men like Gerry Rankin at Westdrums and Bob Adam at Newhouse. We touch on foot trimming crates and dressing cattle with scissors to bulls being shipped to Perth by train in this 35 minute tribute to one of Scotland's most able cattlemen who passed away in 2018.
THE PODCAST IS 50 and what better way for Seán & Stu to spend it than under government enforced lockdown, chatting to each other in the virtual pub of Skype. In this episode, they ramble about quarantine beer deliveries, Bojo in hospital, Trump vs Biden in Queensbury rules, Tiger King, The Mandalorian and other streaming favourites. Also, the lads answer some listener questions, share some beer news and have a look at some recent Corona related deaths of note. The beers this week are the Bitter & Twisted Golden Ale by Harviestoun brewery and Old Tom Ginger by Robinsons. STAY SAFE & ALSO, IN YOUR LANE.

Like all of the U.K., Wales has a long, rich history of brewing. The Welsh brewing industry has pretty much had the same fortunes, too—peaking in the late 1800s then declining thanks to temperance, World Wars, and consolidation throughout the 20th century. But at some point in the early 2000s, the countries’ paths diverged. While Scotland got Harviestoun and then BrewDog, and England gained Dark Star, Rooster’s, Thornbridge, and others, Wales didn’t catch on to modern craft beer as quickly. In fact, it still only has a handful of well regarded craft breweries, of which my guests today are easily the best known. Founded in 2012 in a garage in South Wales, Tiny Rebel has had a meteoric rise to fame, buoyed by some incredible and unlikely successes. In 2013, the brewery won gold, silver and bronze in CAMRA’s Champion Beer of Wales competition, and its flagship Red Ale, Cwtch, went on to win Champion Beer of Britain in 2015, making Tiny Rebel the youngest brewery ever to take the prize. That triumph, which caught the brewers completely by surprise, was a watershed moment, and put them on course for where they are now—a towering brewery and taproom that looks like it’s straight out of San Diego but is actually in an industrial park in Rogerstone, just outside Newport. There Tiny Rebel brews 17,000bbl (20,000hl) a year, with Cwtch and juicy pale ale Club Tropicana taking up most of the tanks. It has become a local landmark, welcoming hundreds of drinkers every day who get through around 1,100bbls a year. They’ve just broken ground across the road too, where they will build a £3-million sour facility and distillery. Like all fast-growing and successful businesses, Tiny Rebel has had its controversies along the way. Such success breeds suspicion, and recently there were wild rumors of a sale to Molson Coors that proved completely unfounded. Tiny Rebel’s nostalgic branding has also gotten them in trouble with industry watchdog The Portman Group, and the brewery’s heavy use of adjuncts has earned them ire from less well humored beer geeks. We talk through all that and more when I sit down with founders Bradley Cummings and Gareth Williams. But what is most remarkable is the humor, and sense of fun, that pervades the conversation. Some may be uneasy with what they do, but they are very easy in themselves, and rightly proud of what they have achieved. This is Brad and Gazz of Tiny Rebel Brewing. Listen in.
It’s our end of year show and we take a run through of some of the key Golden Pints awards. We’re also recreating a tasting experiment that first appeared on The Beer Channel (check that video out here) Beers | Galway Bay ‘200 Fathoms’, Goose Island ‘Bourbon County Stout (2015)’ and Harviestoun ‘Ola Dubh 12’ Hopinions […]

When the temperature's approaching 90 (32), sometimes a cold beer just sounds better than a glass of whisky. Northing wrong with that....especially when the beer has whisky in its DNA. More brewers are experimenting with aging their beers in whisky casks, and one of the most unusual comes from Scotland's Harviestoun Brewery. Ola Dubh is aged in casks from Highland Park's 12, 16, and 30-year-old malts, and each beer bears the special characteristics of its corresponding malt. We'll hear from Harviestoun's master brewer Stuart Cail in this week's episode. In the news, an update on Auchentoshan's new line of malts from new distillery manager Iain McCallum and a preview of some of the fall's new whiskies.
