Episode 193: Facing the Cold Hard Facts [with Fell Brewery's Tim Bloomer]
Description
On the podcast this week, Nick is joined by Tim Bloomer, co-founder and Sustainability Director for Fell Brewery. Based in Cumbria, one of the UK's most scenic areas, having a brewery that is friendly to the environment is a top priority for this growing brewery. So much so, in 2024, Fell performed a full, all scope carbon footprint analysis of our beer with their friends at Small World Consulting.
Now that the brewery really knows where our emissions really come from, they have been able to make a plan to start meaningfully reducing them.
By 2028, the brewery aspires to have some of the lowest carbon beer available in the world. Make sure you check out their first annual report on progress along with the original footprint analysis performed by Small World.
Nick is also joined by Maltings Manager for Crisp Malt, Dan Clarke, at SIBA Beer X where they discuss why brewers should care about the malting process other than merely tipping the bags into the grist-loader.
