This week, Beer Sessions Radio welcomes two homeschooled brewers — Jeff Lyons from Endless Life Brewing in Brooklyn, and Jaega Wise from Wild Card Brewery in East London, who also happens to be the author of “Wild Brews.” The gang will bang out lessons on homebrewing and sour beers, before revealing the secrets to the water section of Jaega's latest book. The episode starts with Jaega's and Jeff's introduction to the homebrewing world as well as their backgrounds outside of the beer industry. While Jaega grew up in the Midland region in UK, noted for Burton-on-Trent, with a CAMRA beer festival as her first, Jeff hung out with the Beer Judge Certification Program gang in the back room of Jimmy's No. 43. Jaega also shared her unexpectedly perfect journey to beerdom, studying chemical engineering and going to water school for her previous job in water treatment. She went on to explain the keys to controlling what she considers the most underappreciated ingredient in brewing — water. The gang then goes deeper into sour beer and the history of homebrewing, with Jimmy admitting to only being able to make “the no hygiene beer” inspired by the Victorian era's Tudor. They also discuss the revival of cask beers along with the brewing scene in London, with a tiny surprise about water in Scotland and whisky distilling.

A monthly exploration of the wonderful and creative world of craft beer. We are two guys, called Dave, who love to talk all things craft beer! There will be news, views, features and live tastings each month as we take an in-depth look at the UK craft beer scene. In episode one, we review beers from Northern Monk and Wild Card Brewery among others, plus Cameron from Turning Point Brew Co. joins us for a quick update.

Craft… was there ever such a word in the English dictionary that has divided opinion in the world of beer as the C word. For some, it defines what it means to be a small, independent brewer. For others, it symbolises a revolt against the globalisation of big business and putting profits before people. While for others, it’s the smaller beer selection in their local supermarket with all the colourful cans on, sandwiched between the cases of Carlsberg to the left and the bottles Black Sheep to the right. According to Pete Brown, it is a term that is completely undefinable, hopelessly misunderstood and absolutely essential. In our discussion, we discuss everything from terminology, brewery buyouts, why independence is such a hotly contested topic in the world of beer, and how everyone plays into the hands of marketing in one way, shape or form. --- BREWERY SHOUTOUTS Wild Card Brewery - Wild Card Brewery has released a new batch of their seventh beer as a part of International Women’s Collaboration Brew Day. This year Wild Card Brewery chose to brew an IPA in tribute to Ada Lovelace, a mathematician and writer, who is widely celebrated as the first computer programmer.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be exploring the lesser savoury part of the beer industry that are less obvious to most while searching through Instagram or discussing their favourite beers over Twitter. I am, of course, talking about The Under Beer Belly of a #BrewersLife. We’ll be taking a deep dive into topics such as mental health, well-being in the workplace, sexism, alcoholism and more as we re-imagine what the beer industry might look like post COVID-19. This week, we catch up with Wild Card Brewery’s Jaega Wise and Dent Brewery’s Lauran Hardkness at SIBA Beer X in March to talk about sexism within the beer industry and how marketing plays a big role in how women are perceived, not just in beer but throughout wider society. --- This week’s brewery shoutouts go to our good friends at Neptune Brewery (www.neptunebrewery.com) and Heist Brew Co in Sheffield (www.heistbrewco.com).

Today’s guest is a familiar voice, as we take a little trip down memory lane and revisit the first ever episode of Beer with Nat with Jaega Wise, head brewer at Wild Card Brewery. Jaega, I still can’t thank you enough for agreeing to sit down and chat with me.  This time last year, this whole podcast thing was just a brainwave I had on a flight to Belfast. And look where we are now! To everyone listening, thank you for joining me on this journey. My initial intro to this episode was a bit long (Jaega’s got quite a few accomplishments to rhyme off!), so this time around I’ve decided to cut it out and jump right in, so you can hear Jagea’s story in her own words. Here she is…

Today’s guest is the incredible Jaega Wise. Jagea is head brewer at Wild Card Brewery in Walthamstow, East London, the brewery she’s been a part of since it opened in 2012. When she’s not in the brewhouse, you can catch Jaega on the telly, as she’s a presenter on Channel 5’s The Wine Show. She’s also been widely recognized for her work as an equality campaigner for the industry, which has seen her so eloquently address the issue of sexism in the beer industry at conferences and festivals up and down the country. She’s a recently qualified Beer Sommelier and beer judge, too. As if all of this doesn’t sound impressive enough, Jaega was recently short-listed for Brewer of the Year by the British Guild of Beer Writers for their Annual Awards and was included in the Evening Standard’s Progress 1,000 – a list of London’s most influential people in 2018. Jaega and I talk about how her background in engineering led her to her current role as head brewer and how her passion for home brewing still fuels her creativity in the brewhouse today. We discuss the changes that she’s called for to help bring equality to the beer industry and how Jaega is helping in her own way - by organizing the London chapter of her friend, Sophie de Ronde’s, International Women’s Collaboration Brew Day, each March. Jaega tells me where she finds her inspiration and what she gets up to in her free time. We also talk about what drives her, when she’s at her happiest, what she loves most about being a part of the beer industry, and a whole lot more. Here she is...

Jaega Wise, Head Brewer at Wild Card Brewery sings a few songs and talks the guys through the Wild Card core range.

You may have already heard of Wild Card Brewery’s Jaega Wise—especially over the past few months, as she’s positioned herself as a prominent anti-sexism campaigner within the British beer industry. I had hoped to highlight the great work Wise is doing within this field in this episode, but was also keen to learn more about her history as a brewer and her businesses plans for future expansion. The danger with conversations like sexism in beer, as Wise and I discuss, is that too often the din of conversation can drown out voices, like hers, which are far more relevant and important to these vital conversations that we’re having. While it’s crucial that every effort is taken to create a platform for these voices, it’s equally important to know when it’s time to pipe down and let these voices be heard. And to all the dudes listening in right now, I’m talking about you and me.  Wise originally hails from Nottingham, in the British Midlands—the “land of the Pale Ale,” as she puts it. She speaks passionately about the region’s pub culture and how it raised her into the world of beer. It’s an industry she kind of just fell into, after studying Chemical Engineering at Loughborough University. Wise is also a musician, currently fronting a London based rock band as a singer. Oh, and she’s a TV host, providing her wealth of beer knowledge on Channel 5’s The Wine Show.  Despite all of this attention, she appears to be at her happiest and most content when she’s working at her brewery, based in Walthamstow, North East London. When she’s not brewing, you can usually find her in the taproom which, along with neighboring businesses like Pillars Brewery and God’s Own Junkyard, has become an important hub for the local community. That sense of community has been key to this brewery’s growth too, as it raised £300,000 last year, aiding it’s expansion to a new site this spring. Wild Card’s five years of existence has not been without its obstacles, however. Wise is quick to point out the challenging margins available for cask beer within the current UK market. And, she concedes that despite trying not to succumb to trends, the pull of those such as New England IPA have been too great to resist. Listen in.

Tash served up a heavy helping of new music this evening, but still remembering the old classics from Ace of Base and ESG.
