Time for a Brew #16 Special Guest Mike Harrison-Wood - West Berkshire Brewery In this episode, we talk about three of West Berkshire's beers, going into detail about the story of the beers and why they're so important to the brewery. This week's beers: Solo - 0.5% Pale AleDetour - 4% Pale AleStay Grounded - 10% Mocha Imperial StoutThis was a fantastic episode and trip to West Berkshire Brewery. I was blown away by the scale of the place and Mike gave us a great insight into the operations of the brewery itself.  Mike's Ultimate Beer Tasting was a good'un. Featuring some of West Berks' beers as well as local favourites from Siren and Elusive, this was a good selection of beers from in and around the area. We end the episode how all episodes end, every guest must pick a set of songs to enter the Podcast Playlist. An eclectic music fan, Mike took us into Reel Big Fish territory, but you'll have to listen to it all to find out what he chose.  Recorded at West Berkshire Brewery. Artwork by Adam Graver. 

In this slightly festive (yearly?) episode, Mike and Cal take a break from brewing and reflect on the past year. We discuss our favourite brews and which beers we learned the most from, as well as taking some time to really appreciate the beers in front of our faces.We try "Holly Cutter" by West Berkshire Brewery, that was featured in episode 34, we try the Brutx Fizz experiment that was brewed all the way back in episode 17 (!) and we also have a Siren beer because we like them and the beers they do.Good times, good beers, good company. See you next year!

One of the key parts of beer is the delicious grain that gives it its body, sweetness, colour and potentially many of its other attributes, the malted barley. If you're a fan of a big malt character in your beers, then Old Ale might be a great style to try, since it's packed full of big, biting and tasty malt flavours.In this episode Mike chats with Will Twomey, head brewer of West Berkshire Brewery (where Mike also works, which is totally a conflict of interest) about an Old Ale that was brewed recently, named Holly Cutter.We try Holly Cutter and discuss it's recipe, before delving into these other examples of the style:Morland - Old Crafty Hen https://www.oldspeckledhen.co.uk/Theakston - Old Peculiar https://www.theakstons.co.uk/Robinsons - Old Tom https://www.robinsonsbrewery.com/And you can find out more about West Berkshire Brewery's beers at https://www.wbbrew.com/

If you want a surefire way of brewing a delicious beer that you'll love to drink, why not start with a clone beer? Taking a tried and tested beer from another brewery and trying to recreate it as authentically as possible (or brewing a "clone" of it) can help any brewer hone their skill whilst also providing tasty and recognisable beer. In this episode Mike joins up with Dave Ashmore (who appeared in the first episode of "Back To Basics" ) as they brew a clone of Timothy Taylor's Landlord. During recording certain technical difficulties occurred meaning the review of Timothy Taylor's Landlord itself was actually made afterwards with Cal. After that Mike also tried a couple of Dave's other clone beers, "Dr Blunder's Peeler" a clone of "Dr Hexter's Healer" by West Berkshire Brewery and "Hefelhoff" a reinterpretation of "Tornado Top Hat" by Wild Weather. You can find the recipe kit for this Timothy Taylor's Landlord clone at https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/timothy-taylor-landlord-premium-kit/ and a fantastic book full of clone recipes (mentioned frequently in the episode) at https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/camras-essential-home-brewing/

Designating himself as driver, he taxied a group of friends around a variety of brewery tap rooms - everything from craft upstairs Wild Weather and Siren Craft, to the well-established West Berkshire Brewery and Wytchwood, famous for their beer Hobgoblin - allowing them to experience the full pallet of offerings from a range of breweries, all heralding different styles. In this episode, we ask Carl what he took from the experience and talk all about how taprooms now are a must for breweries to succeed. If you’re in Coventry, make a point of visiting Twisted Barrel Brewery to sample their wide range of exciting beers and soak up the atmosphere.

In this episode we make our way through Renegade Craft Lager, Renegade West Coast Pale, Maharaja Pale Ale and the Tamesis Stout.

In this podcast, we’d like to welcome Simon Lewis, CEO of West Berkshire Brewery and a drinks man through and through. From managing an old-fashioned wine merchant in the middle of London to joining the Red Bull Company before it became a household name, Simon has a wealth of experience in the drinks industry. With huge names such as Bass, Monster Energy and Purity on his CV, we chatted with Simon about how the industry has evolved and where he thinks the art of beer brewing is going in the future.

Steve and Roland drink more beer (well it is the podcasts title) and chat and whine and moan and groan
