Episode 191: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion... and The Simpsons [with David Jesudason]
Description
This week on the Hop Forward Podcast, we're joined by journalist and Beer Writer of the Year 2023, David Jesudason. We discuss diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) within hospitality and the brewing sector, exploring themes of code-switching, how we should strive to make meaningful changes to our businesses rather than just raise awareness about DEI, and talk about David's journalism and writing, including topic that he's reported on extensively: BrewDog.
And, of course, we chat about our mutual love of The Simpsons.
Nick is also joined by Alix Blease, Technical Sales Representative for Lallemand, where we explore their latest innovation, ISY Enhance™ - a 'magic brown power' and great addition to a brewery's ingredients and processing aids to create better beers with a fuller mouthfeel.
