Recorded after the bonus episode you're going to get at some point soon (when I edit it)... look at us, we're in love.

I am delighted to welcome to the podcast Bruce from Left Handed Giant based in Bristol. Left Handed Giant originally started with a beer handed across to Small Bar owners Bruce Gray and Jack Granger. The beer was made by Rich Poole, who eventually set-up shop on on a small kit in the back of the same bar, fermenting the thought of a cuckoo brewery that became Left Handed Giant. From its start in 2014, the brewery grew in stages, first by securing its own premises in the summer of 2017, and more recently in the latter part of 2019 a second, flagship location of a brewpub based in the centre of Bristol in Finzels Reach, overlooking the harbour off the River Avon. https://lefthandedgiant.com/

On this week's episode of the Thirst time, we speak to Bruce Gray.It's our first-ever repeat guest and for good reason. The industry is facing some really tough challenges at the moment, so we caught up with Bruce to get his insight, both positive & negative. Hope you enjoy this one! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello and welcome to Episode 2 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's episode features Alan Mahon, founder of Brewgooder and Work In Progress. Work In Progress is an open to all breweries that aspire to build a more inclusive and representative beer industry. The breweries involved - including everyone from London’s Mondo Brewing Company, Liverpool’s Neptune Brewery, Bristol’s Left Handed Giant and many more, are committed to taking action in their businesses, forging links with communities to increase opportunities and promote collaboration between brewers and under-represented groups in our society. As a non-profit, decentralised movement driven by the members, Work In Progress is establishing a steering committee of trusted industry and non-industry voices to help guide and unify the collective voices and actions to create greater inclusivity in the beer and wider drinks industry. A few months back, I caught up with Alan to discuss Work In Progress and what breweries can do to create a more diverse, unified workforce and industry that covers the entire colour spectrum, in both the physical. cultural and metaphorical sense. We caught up with Alan to talk about the new initiative, discuss some of the issues that still plague the beer industry, and what we can do to combat those issues.

Featuring the ‘Pale Ale’ from Market Bosworth Brewery, the ‘What The Water Wanted’ from Flying Couch & Wylam Breweries, and the ‘Who Made Who’ from Left Handed Giant & Odyssey Brewing Co. We also celebrate a big milestone, Tom has a revelation and Mark talks about his first 5 star review on Untappd…. Enjoy!

We’ve all played Games, the funk has been kicked. Aadil has finally jumped into ‘Mario Odyssey’ which leads to a brief discussion on cheat codes. Lucy’s been getting a puzzle kick in ‘Q.U.B.E 2’. The game to help Ben kick the funk is the arcade space shooter ‘Cycle 28’. Lucy’s also played a point and click adventure ‘Chuchel’ and Aadil’s actually spent most of the time he should be working playing ‘Into The Breach’, a tactics puzzle game, instead. Ben felt left out when everyone else had White IPAs so he’s got the ‘Drift’ from Unity, then has the Finzel’s Reach from Left Handed Giant. Lucy starts with a big on in the ‘Mexicake’ Imperial Stout by Tempest and a […]

We've all played Games, the funk has been kicked. Aadil has finally jumped into 'Mario Odyssey' which leads to a brief discussion on cheat codes. Lucy's been getting a puzzle kick in 'Q.U.B.E 2'. The game to help Ben kick the funk is the arcade space shooter 'Cycle 28'. Lucy's also played a point and click adventure 'Chuchel' and Aadil's actually spent most of the time he should be working playing 'Into The Breach', a tactics puzzle game, instead. Ben felt left out when everyone else had White IPAs so he's got the 'Drift' from Unity, then has the Finzel's Reach from Left Handed Giant. Lucy starts with a big on in the 'Mexicake' Imperial Stout by Tempest and a collaboration, the 'Doyen' IPA from Gypsy Hill and Fullers. Aadil starts light with the Oedipus 'Mannenliefde' saison then has something bigger in the 55|06 DIPA by Brew By Numbers.

Aadil's lost in the frozen north so Ben and Lucy get together to toast his memory. Actually they talk about what they've been playing and discuss the games they are looking forward to in 2018. They also discuss a 2017 article from Boak and Bailey on 'The Seven Ages of Beer Geek?' To start they kick off with collab beers. Ben drinks 'Compulsory fun' from Left Handed Giant, Magic Rock and Deya whilst Lucy has Northern Monk Patrons 3.04 'Attack on Blue Falcon'. Lucy stays with Northern Monk Patrons project 9.03 'Don't look batarang In anger' and Ben has a To Øl 'Fuck art winter is coming'.

One episode from the grand 100 and Lucy visits Bristol. We capture her, forever. Our chat takes us from Peak Beer to Dishonoured 2 and boss fights. From criminal intent to Mother Russia Bleeds and the brilliance of Devolver Digital. Finally South Park to comedy writing. We drank a few beers before starting but as we record we have To Ol ‘Dangerously close to stupid amount of apricots’ Imperial IPA, the Left Handed Giant ‘Late night fist fight’ APA and the ‘Sorachi’ black IPA from Arbor.

I’ve been writing for GBH for going on two and a half years now. Over that time you may or may not have noticed that I’ve gradually been trying to build a picture of the modern British beer scene. We’ve looked at the likes of Beavertown and Brew By Numbers in London, BrewDog up in Scotland, Cloudwater in Manchester, Magic Rock and Northern Monk in Yorkshire and most recently Lost & Grounded in Bristol.  It’s Bristol that we find ourselves in today, or at least, that’s where today’s guest Bruce Gray, and his brewery Left Handed Giant, is based. Gray has worked in the beer industry for a number of years now, working in BrewDog’s bar division before heading to Bristol and setting up a distribution company. He also opened a specialist beer bar called Small Bar, which now has a second site in Cardiff, South Wales.  From here he began “cuckoo brewing,” as Gray puts it, under the Left Handed Giant brand. Things snowballed for the fledgling brewery, as they are wont to do in a British market hungry for more young brands like his, and now they’re nestled into a permanent site, brewing 15 barrels at a time. Bristol seems to be the perfect incubator for the ambitious plans for his brewery.  It’s perhaps because Gray has had the opportunity to work at all ends of the chain that he’s able to articulate his experiences within the beer industry so well. He does so regularly on his brewery's blog, where he’s earned a reputation for being honest and forthright. On this podcast he’s no different, giving in-depth opinions on issues such as the much-debated price of beer. He also gives his opinions on CAMRA as well as SIBA, the Society for Independent Brewers, which is the closest equivalent the UK has to America’s Brewers Association. We have a great conversation here that covers all of the above and more. Listen in.
