This year RedWillow Brewery is raising a glass to 15 years of brewing bold, balanced beers. They're marking the milestone with a packed calendar of collaborations, reimagined classics, and monthly giveaways — as well as a recent haul of prestigious awards.Starting out in 2010, RedWillow Brewery has long since established itself as a leading light in UK brewing. Founded by Toby and Caroline McKenzie, the business has grown and evolved without ever undermining its core values.To mark this prestigious anniversary in 2025, RedWillow is launching a year-long series of collaborations with some of the UK's most respected breweries, including DEYA, Lost and Grounded, The Kernel, Thornbridge and more. These limited-edition beers will roll out throughout 2025, showcasing the creativity and community spirit that continues to drive the UK craft beer scene.And for Toby, the occasion gives him and the team the opportunity to reflect on a job well done. A brewery that was inspired by their early peers is now one that is revered and regarded by countless others. In this episode we take a whistle stop look back on the brewery's journey to-date and discuss the creativity, passion, and friendships that make this industry so special.

There are certain joys, certain constants when it comes to the world of beer. And one of those has to be the pleasure when scanning the bar for a pint and you happen across the pump clip for Jaipur on cask.It's a seminal beer that has stood the test of time and this year the brewery responsible, Thornbridge, based in the Derbyshire Dales, celebrates the 20th anniversary of both that beer and the business, too.The Thornbridge story began back in 2005 when founders Jim Harrison and Simon Webster recruited two young brewers to brew on a second hand 10-barrel kit in the grounds of Thornbridge Hall.A journey that began in the small Stonemasons Workshop at Thornbridge Hall is one that has gone on to grow into the Riverside Brewery in Bakewell where the team produce some nine million pints of beer each year.Like any good business, the brewery has moved with the times. While Jaipur remains the flagship, its gluten-free Helles Lukas and Green Mountain, a 4.3% Hazy Session IPA, also account for a significant amount of the brewery's production.Thanks to a brewing team led by Ben Wood, Dominic Driscoll and Rob Lovatt, they create beers that cater for a wide and diverse audience.So as the celebrated brewery embarks on a year that will toast two decades in business, we caught up with co-founder Simon Webster to discuss the Thornbridge journey. We look at the recent fantastic new addition of a Burton Union set, why collaborations continue to play a key part in the brewery's proposition and, with new pub openings on the horizon, why Simon believes that such environments remain the best choice when it comes to enjoying a beer.

It's that time of the year once again, and you can bet we're making our lists and checking them twice. In what feels like a breakout year for Pellicle, join our editor-in-chief Matthew Curtis and deputy editor Katie Mather as they chew through the year that was. There's plenty of reflection on the magazine itself, as well as space for discussing some of the bigger topics in beer and cider for 2024. This includes some healthy conversation about the rise of Guinness and the trad pub ‘revival', plus a nod to Thornbridge and Epochal Brewery taking on Burton Union Sets from Carlsberg. The pair also discuss the pressing issue of DEI in beer, before looking ahead to the new year.Thank you to all of our listeners for tuning in to The Pellicle Podcast this year.

We're back! After Jamie's operation got cancelled we thought we would come back and do a few more episodes before Christmas

Like beer, whisky has always fascinated me. Maybe it's because, like beer, it's brewed, and before distillation the resulting wash (the distilling term for wort) undergoes a period of open fermentation, not unlike a wild or mixed fermentation beer. Or maybe it's because it's simply delicious. Enough so to pique my curiosity and to discover more about how it's made, and the people who make it.At White Peak Distillery in Ambergate, Derbyshire I found another beer hook from which I could hang my hat—that it uses brewers yeast sourced from the nearby Thornbridge Brewery. Not just any yeast either, as every Tuesday they collect several tubs of the same yeast that's used to produce the brewery's flagship IPA, Jaipur. The hope is that using this yeast will produce lots of interesting esters during fermentation, adding fruit notes to the wash, which is then further amplified by whatever else gets in there during the open fermentation. The goal, as I learned when chatting to Max Vaughan, who founded White Peak with wife Claire in 2016, is to pack as much flavour into its distillate as possible, so that when it begins a long maturation in oak, it's already packed with character that will slowly, steadily evolve for several years until it's ready to be called whisky. Tasting the results of what White Peak has released so far under its Wire Works range of whiskies, I genuinely think that this English whisky maker—one of about 50 in the country—could potentially be one of the most exciting drinks producers in the country at this moment.Recorded in the tasting room at White Peak Distillery, in this episode I chat to White Peak founder Max Vaughan about why he decided to open a distillery to the edge of the Peak District, at the water's edge of the River Derwent. In it I learn about how the brewery is constantly pushing for more interesting flavours through the use of heritage grains and through the use of many different types of barrel. We chat about sustainability, about the state of English whisky in general, and I learn how White Peak sources potentially the freshest bourbon barrels in the UK, direct from Kentucky, thanks to its partnership with US bourbon brand Never Say Die.It's a fascinating conversation, and if, like me, you're more of a beer person than a whisky one, I promise there's plenty of interesting stuff in here that may well pique your curiosity, just like it did mine.We're able to produce The Pellicle Podcast directly thanks to our Patreon subscribers, and our sponsors Loughran Brewers Select.

If you've ever entertained a visiting brewer from overseas, one of the first questions you are normally asked is - where can we go for a great pint of cask beer? As decorated author Des de Moor tells us in his new book, cask beer is a unique format of fresh, live draught beer that, at its best, delivers a taste experience unmatchable in any other way. But despite it being revered by fans across the globe, sales of cask beer in the UK continue to suffer.  In his latest article for The Brewers Journal, former Fuller's brewing director John Keeling observes that throughput is down, inspections are less rigorously enforced, and training is intermittent. He also asks how we can change this situation… In this week's podcast Paul Davies, the founder of AleHunters Brewery Tours, leads a panel discussion with a revered group that share their experiences and expertise working in and around cask beer. Recorded at our Brewers Congress event last month, he was joined by Alice Batham, the head brewer at Bathams in the West Midlands and also Janos De Baets, the co-founder and head brewer of Dok Brewing Company in Gent, Belgium.  Also on the panel was Rob Lovatt, the head brewer and production director at Thornbridge and Des de Moor, one of the UK's top beer experts, and author of the new book Cask: The real story of Britain's unique beer culture.In this episode, Paul leads a passionate and informed discussion about this beloved beer type featuring input from some of the people that know it best.

When you hear the word Jaipur, chances are a beer comes to mind before the Indian city. This renowned beer, inspired by the vibrant flavours of the Rajasthan region, recently celebrated its 18th anniversary. Jaipur boasts a spicy hoppiness, firm bitterness, and floral fruitiness, complemented by a robust ABV that adds layers of complexity.Despite Jaipur comprising a significant portion of Thornbridge's production, the UK brewery, located in Bakewell, Derbyshire, is far from a one-trick pony. Thornbridge has maintained its position as a global leader in innovation, quality, and drinkability over the years.We recently had the opportunity to meet with co-founder Simon Webster and discover what drives this brewery's success. In this episode, we delve into Thornbridge's early days and its remarkable evolution. We explore the collaborative efforts that saved Kelham Island Brewery from becoming a relic of the past, and discuss the challenges that breweries like Thornbridge face in today's brewing and hospitality industry.Additionally, we catch up with James Lewis and Paul Evans from Ninkasi Rentals & Finance to discuss the advantages of renting a tank for your brewhouse, highlighting how it may be a preferable alternative.THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY NINKASI RENTALS & FINANCENinkasi Rentals & Finance is an ideal partner for fast-growing and innovative businesses ensuring maximum flexibility of production to take advantage of the very latest techniques, styles and market opportunities.Ninkasi provides high-quality equipment to the drinks industry and has a range of products in stock available for immediate delivery.  As drinks industry experts they not only deliver and install equipment but also happily provide further support to you and your business.Visit ninkasirentals.co.uk today to find out more.Looking for a BRANDING, help with your MARKETING or COMMERICAL expertise?Visit hopforward.beer to find out how we can help you get ahead the brewing and beer business.Follow Hop Forward on social media at:Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | InstagramLike the Hop Forward Podcast...?Leave us a review and give us some stars on Apple Music.Looking for a BRANDING, help with your MARKETING or COMMERICAL expertise?Visit hopforward.beer to find out how we can help you get ahead the brewing and beer business.Follow Hop Forward on social media at:Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | InstagramLike the Hop Forward Podcast...?Leave us a review and give us some stars on Apple Music.

Mental health is a seldom talked about subject within the brewing industry. Perhaps this is because the demographic working within brewing skews highly male, and men are infamous for often being unable to discuss this topic adequately. Thankfully, in more recent times, the discussion is becoming more open and more frequent—valuable indeed, considering how tumultuous the past couple of years have been on our minds, as well as our bodies. In this discussion recorded at FyneFest 2022, host Matthew Curtis is joined by Miranda Hudson of Duration Brewing, Vik Stronge of Magic Rock, and Dominic Driscoll of Thornbridge. The panel discusses a range of points within the subject of mental health, from setting boundaries within the workplace, to managing the mental health of our colleagues, employees and friends, as we try to make the beer industry a safer, friendlier place to work.CW: Topics discussed include depression and alcoholism. If you're struggling with your mental health we urge you not to suffer alone, and recommend contacting an organisation such as The Drinks Trust or The Samaritans for support.

Time for a Brew - #49 Special Guests: Tom Bacon - National Sales Manager The latest episode of Time For a Brew, sees Tom Bacon of Anarchy Brew Co, take on the Ultimate Bar Challenge. We drink three great Anarchy beers, including a pale ale hopped with Sabro, a top Pilsner and a beautiful 10% Barley Wine. Tom talks us through the roots of Anarchy and the plans for the future as well as picking a belting bar including Thornbridge, Abbeydale and Brew York. Recorded via Zoom Recordings.

In this week's podcast episode, I attempt to answer the question "are abs made in the kitchen?". After last week's heavily researched podcast episode, I decided to have a more laid back approach to this one. The podcast is more of a collection of thoughts and anecdotes I've had around weight loss and body image in the fitness world, particularly for men. Not that women don't have that same issue, but 1) I am not as qualified to talk about it, and 2) I feel that this topic is pretty well covered by women. Are Abs Made in the Kitchen? It's an annoyingly smug statement, but it's also incorrect. Well, actually it's difficult to answer properly. Your abs are muscles, and muscles are built in the gym. However, you need to eat to build your muscles, so technically all muscles are made in the kitchen. This isn't what the statement is supposed to mean though. What they are saying is that you need to create a calorie deficit through diet to burn the fat necessary to see your abs. But obviously, that's a mouthful. It's pretty harmless as statements go, but I always dislike it when complex and much-debated topics are boiled down into handy catchphrases. Having a six-pack is all about diet and exercise, it's not really an either/or situation. The Heart Pale Ale Brewed by the Hop Nation Brewing Company in Melbourne, Australia. The Heart is a really well brewed pale ale, similar to a golden ale in taste and appearance. This is a subtly flavoured pale ale, and the description on Beer52s website says that it has a floral taste. Which I absolutely agree with. Though as I point out in the podcast, tell me that something tastes floral and I will then find it to be true. I was very tempted to drink a pint of Shelby IPA by Thornbridge brewery. I have it set up with my PerfectDraft at the moment, and it is wonderful. However, I already did a podcast episode while drinking the bottled version, and I don't want to repeat myself.

In this week's episode, we discuss the origins of Thornbridge Brewery and their Jaipur IPA, in the Pursuit of Hoppiness. In the Hop Topic, Rich shares the worlds craziest beers and forgets how to podcast.Be sure to follow Thornbridge

Luke and Andrew sit down with Ed Cosens, venerable solo artist, guitar-slinger-extraordinaire in Reverend & The Makers, and occasional guest brewer at Thornbridge Brewery.

In the second part of this weeks show we each run down and discuss our top three favourite games of 2020. Will there be surprises? Will we all firmly stay in our boxes and make the obvious choices? Will we be absolutely drunk and all lovey at the end? There’s only one way to find out. We also each crack our forth beers of the night with Brew York, Thornbridge and Adroit Theory.

This week we are calling our 50th episode. We've done a few specials and Half-pint episodes but this is number 50 for the main show.

Of course, it isn't happening, so instead we have our own petit Peakender art home. Indoors of course (it was raining heavily!) We're joined by Alice Batham from the Thornbridge brewing team as we reminisce about previous years and find out how things have been at the brewery over lockdown. Not forgetting sharing a beer each as well, themed around Peakender.

Some companies have been naughty and it's time for us to talk about them. First, we crack open some beers. Ben has already got one on the go and finishes Shelby from Thornbridge in the first few minutes, Aadil drinks Hugs & Kisses from Brouwerij De Molen, Lucy has been to Burning Soul to pick up the Raspberry Ripple and Ben opens Galaga from Brew York. Then we get em. Aadil discusses the bad branding and messaging of the beer Karen Sour from Calgary brewer Common Crown Brewing Co. More beers are needed after the conversation so Aadil has Van Vollenhoven & Co Extra Stout, Lucy jumps on the Brew York train with Big Eagle 2020 and Ben finishes with Touch Sensitive from North Brewing Co. Lucy lightens the mood with a discussion on the games she has played including Bird Alone, The Great Perhaps and Ultracore. Conversation then descends to the dark depths some gaming companies have fallen to recently and Ben asks at what point do we stop supporting a developer?

As a qualified personal trainer and qualified Boxercise coach (don't laugh, it's a real qualification) I feel perfectly placed to discuss whether personal training and boxing is a good mix or not. Which is why I have dedicated a podcast to that very subject. Personal Training and Boxing Boxercise is a very underrated qualification in my opinion. It is held back by the ridiculous name. A more accurate name for the course would be "Teach boxing to clients safely", but I guess that doesn't have the same ring to it. I got my qualification in 2010. I actually got it a couple of months before I got my personal trainer qualification! So technically, I was a Boxercise personal trainer for longer than I was a regular personal trainer. For the first few years of my career, I specialised in this field. I taught many clients how to punch, how to move, and some basic combinations. The lessons were fun to do (for both myself and the client), and once the client knew enough, the lessons could be excellent calorie burners. In the podcast I discuss why I phased out boxing from my sessions, and why I am not certain that boxing training is good value for personal training clients. Market Porter by Thornbridge The beer I'm drinking is a porter by Thornbridge brewery. Considering the fact that I used to hate porters, this was a very decent beer. Thornbridge is best known for their award-winning Jaipur beer, but they do a lot of stouts and porters too. Check out my article on Beer in London to learn more about the origin of stouts and porter. Their brewery has been in operation since 2005, and they are based in Derbyshire. Which, now that I live in Nottingham, is not a million miles away. I'd better book myself a brewery tour once this pandemic has ended. Well, that should be enough information to build some anticipation. Check out the podcast, and have a great week!

Rejoice! Seán and Stu finally met up for a beer and a socially distanced chat in person after months in lockdown. In this episode, they discuss the lockdown effects on mental health, 5G conspiracy and more. The lads also try out the non-alcoholic Smashed Lager from Drynks Unlimited ahead of No Craic November.

This week Aadil, Ben and Lucy have all picked up the Bundle for racial justice and equality from Itch.io and Lucy has actually played some of them, discussing A Snakes Tail and Spring Falls. She drinks Flying Dogma from Dogma Brewery X Flying Dog Brewery. Aadil drinks Mikkeller's Pepper Spray and Ben leans into the supermarket with Wild Boar from Buxton. Lucy also discusses Rakuen and starts a big conversation about Bioshock. More beers are drunk. Lucy has Zon & Zee from Brouwerij De Molen, Aadil drinks Arbor's Space hardware and Ben has the Thornbridge X Firestone Walker collab Pondera. Ben is waning on Final Fantasy 7 Remake after getting to, maybe, the final boss and Aadil has been playing some new games from The Jackbox Party pack.

Bank Holiday Beers in our theme this week - and boy do we have a variation in style: five very different beers. We're joined by Mark Gannon and his bulging fridge to talk all things hoppy. And it's the return of Sean's ridiculous bottle opener which seems to do many things - apart from actually open bottles. Want it? Listen in for your chance to win! A huge thanks this week to Heist and Thornbridge who have sent some fantastic beers to try - including two we crack open on this episode.

London is blessed with hundreds of great pubs. But for me one stands tall above the rest: a beacon of everything that is great about this British institution. It also happens to be my local. The Southampton Arms in Kentish Town, North London feels like it’s been there forever—it’s all worn wood, rickety chairs, stained walls, and sepia photos. It breaks all the perceived rules of running a pub. Up until last year it had 12 cask lines, six cider lines, and just two keg lines. It didn’t take cash and only served a few bar snacks. It had a one-page website and an almost untouched Twitter account. On paper it shouldn’t work, and yet the perfectly kept casks flowed constantly. Things have changed a little since then, but not by much. On a Monday night, during the live piano performances, you can hardly move; on Tuesday, during the pub quiz, the same drunk man screams questions over the top of people’s heads at the bar. Even at the height of winter, Friday and Saturday crowds spill out into the tiny backyard area, blocking the way to the outhouse toilet. It’s the most effortlessly welcoming, cozy pub I have ever been to, and it quickly became my favorite pub in the world. Amazingly, it only celebrated its 10-year anniversary in November. Its cofounder, Pete Holt, is a soft-spoken guy who has that enviable skill of seeming to like exactly what everyone else likes. Despite the rise of keg beer and gastropubs he wanted to open a simple real ale boozer, and it seems everyone in North London approved.  He did the same with the Cock Tavern in Hackney, when he opened the borough’s first brewpub in 2011. Howling Hops started in the basement but just a few years later expanded to its own brewery and taproom site in Hackney Wick, where it now pours a wide range of beers straight from the tanks. Its beers are staunchly modern and usually hop-forward, but you’ll still see lots of Howling Hops casks at the Southampton sat next to breweries that have been stocked for the full decade—breweries like Marble, Thornbridge, Moor, and Oakham. In my conversation with Pete, we talk about the inspiration behind his three sites; the unique challenges of running a business that spans production, logistics and serving; and what it’s been like to watch London change over a decade through the lens of beer. This is Pete Holt of Howling Hops. Listen in.

This episode the lads discuss Portrush beer festival, Youtubers, comic book diversity and drop the biggest Star Wars theory in history.

Jon, Phil, Dan and Ian are in The Stag's Head for a pint of two of Thornbridge, a look back on recent performances against Liverpool and Watford, Dean Henderson's redemption, International recognition for Blades players, a quiz(!) and the ever present Hall of Fame section.

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.

This month we’re at The Rising Sun in Nether Green ahead of their annual Sun Fest.

He tells us about the band's forthcoming Best Of album and tour... and how they're bringing back their brilliant beer from a few years ago to boot.

Dan Saladino meets the brewers transforming the flavours and styles of the British craft beer scene. From experiments with seaweed to efforts to find lost Victorian recipes, it's a diverse and fast moving world, so where are the new ideas for beer coming from and which brewers are leading the way?The award winning beer writer Pete Brown has described 2014 as the year in which craft beer has gone mainstream. A term first used to describe the renaissance of American brewing in the 1980's "craft" refers to smaller scale breweries, producing in small batches and often working with beer styles packed with flavour.In the last ten years the overall beer market has crashed by 25 per cent. Although cask ale is holding its own, the beer of this new wave of "craft brewers" is growing at around 70 per cent, year on year. The Food Programme finds out who is behind this trend and what kind of beers they're producing.Dan hears from Brewdog in Scotland, Thornbridge in Derbyshire, Wild Beer Co in Somerset as well as The Kernel and Meantime breweries in London to hear why sour beers, German styles and Saisons are the order of the day.Beer archivist Ron Pattinson talks about his efforts to revive some of Britain's lost beer recipes and Garrett Oliver, editor of The Oxford Companion to Beer, explains why experiments in yeast are giving us new beers flavours.From Copenhagen the man behind the Mikkeller brewery describes why he never brews the same beer twice and why seaweed, popcorn and vanilla are on his list of ingredients.Produced and presented by Dan Saladino.
