Episode 74: 3rd Birthday episode |
Sadly my brewery guest was unable to record, so I thought I'd publish a Zoom link on Twitter and invite anybody along who'd like to chat about beer. Perhaps not the cleverest idea - that attracted a few "mooners" and somebody who was just about to say something awful before I managed to boot them out.
On the good side though, Elusive Brewery's main man, Andy Parker, took pity on me and joined the call to save the day! So I had a great chat with Andy - not just about his brewery and beers, but also other topics in beer. Plus, later in the call we are joined by Chris, who thankfully wanted to talk beer too!
I'll be taking a summer break and Beer Prime will be back in September.
In the meantime, I will be putting out a series of short episodes, each about an Iconic Beer.
Episode 73 - Torrside Brewing
In this episode I speak with Chris Clough of Torrside Brewing in Derbyshire.
We discuss their smoked beers and Imperial Stouts that they are known for, but also why those are only a fraction of what they brew. We talk style transgression, experimental ingredients, the incredible bottle art from Emma Sidwell and the local Swizzles factory. Plus, of course, much more - including Dogs of War and Cats of Chaos!
I also play some audio from my recent beer festival trip to Yorkshire, from Amityfest and Suds with Buds!

Plus much more of course!
