In this episode we explore some of the more fascinating aspects of brewing, including the botany of beer, wild brewing and hop farming. Plus, we're celebrating CAMRA’s Cider Month by taking some walks in the wild with short ‘postcards’ from some orchards around the country.

Hear from Jaega Wise of Wild Card Brewery about her book Wild Brews, which won ‘Debut Drink Book’ at the Fortnum and Mason Awards 2023. The team also chat to Albert Johnson of Ross on Wye Cider and Perry Company, one of the real rising stars of the cider world. Plus, in this episode we have the return of our resident chef, Christian Gott, who cooks grilled lamb cutlets, new season potatoes, asparagus and a very special Béarnaise, one made with beer. See the recipe here.
