In this episode, Clare Philips, Simon Webster and David King and joined by Fergus Fitzgerald, head brewer at Adnams and creator of the ‘Thank Brew’ pale ale that is being brewed and sold by brewers and publicans to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee. Ahead of the Glasgow Real Ale Festival on 16-18 June, they sit down with Walter Ross to learn a bit about the role of a festival steward, a real unsung hero of the festival, being the first port of call for visitors, keeping everyone safe, and doing whatever is needed to keep the show on the road.   

Alison Taffs sits down with Adam Green from Old Street Brewery and Oliver Meckler from Symbiose in the Netherlands, to talk about their big celebratory brews, from bourbon-barrelled stouts to champagne-styled beers brewed with grapes.
