  • #164 | Caitlín McErlean, Cloudwater
    Feb 21 2025
    What beers have you enjoyed brewing lately? For today’s guest it would probably be an alcohol-free Negroni sour, or perhaps an alcohol-free Margarita Gose.Quite the shift from Delirium Nocturnum, the Belgian Strong Dark Ale that helped open her eyes to the wonderful world of beer. But for Caitlín McErlean, part of the team at Manchester-based Cloudwater, her journey in brewing has been anything but conventional.For Caitlín, a love of languages would lead her to a degree in Chinese Studies. Originally from Milton Keynes, a move to university in Durham would not only broaden her linguistic horizons but also broaden her palate, too. In this episode, we discuss Caitlín’s early days working at the Head of Steam in Durham and how that helped introduce her to the myriad of beer styles that exist across the globe. We discuss how becoming a brewing apprentice would help her secure a dream job in her dream city and also how, at Cloudwater, she has been able to further pursue her love of creating no- and low-alcohol beers.

  • #163 | Alex Kerr, Two Flints
    Feb 14 2025
    “It takes two flints to make a fire”Where did the inspiration for your brewery name come from? For Alex Kerr, founder of Windsor, Berkshire-based Two Flints, he has his own story to tell. And drawing influence from the famous quote from Louisa May Alcott’s coming-of-age novel Little Women was just the place to start.Opening at the end of 2022, Two Flints recently has marked its second anniversary brewing in Berkshire. A town that has been the home of Windsor and Eton Brewery for more than 10 years, Alex Kerr and his team have given beer fans another new spot for excellent beer. And soon after in 2023, they would soon be joined in Windsor by neighbours Indie Rabble, the brewery founded by Naomi and Dave Hayward. Since starting out, Two Flints has made its name with a series of excellent hop-forward, hazy pale ales and IPAs such as Santiago, Never End and Big Bash. But they also make superb lagers and other styles, too.In this episode we speak with Alex to learn about his early influences and how he found a passion for brewing while living in Singapore. We discuss his fascination with hops and the qualities they impart on the beers they brew, the importance of Two Flints' taproom and also reflect on his desire for continuous improvement in everything that they do.

  • #162 | Kate Hyde, Hand Brew Co
    Feb 7 2025
    Which brewery, which style, or which beer, got you into the wonderful world of brewing? We will all have our own response and that’s what makes this liquid so great.And for today’s guest, it was a Bitter that lit that fire. But instead of a beer from a classic British brewery, it was one being produced, and enjoyed, by locals and tourists alike, in the heart of Paris.Because in the brewing industry, some of us are set on our trajectory from early on. Knowing full-well that a career in beer is for them. Others end up part of this sector after working in a different field. And today’s guest, Kate Hyde of Hand Brew Co, is one such example.And while Kate's journey has taken her from the UK to Australia then onto France, she has since gone onto establish herself as a revered member of the brewing community in the South of England. Both through her production prowess, but also as a mentor for Women in Beer, too. In this episode, we reflect on what it was like working in the burgeoning craft beer scene in Paris. The parallels, and differences, between France and UK and why in Sussex alongside its wealth of excellent breweries, she feels right at home. Production: Ross MacPhersonPhoto Credit: Milly Fletcher
