Beer Ladies Podcast

After a short catchup on what’s been keeping us busy, we’re chatting about beer competitions! Especially as our Irish National Competition is coming up on 18 May - and beyond giving you all a taste of what a competition looks like, how it's put together, this is also a big ol’ shout out to the homebrewers, judges and volunteers near and far to come and join us for Nationals. If you’d like to sponsor any sort of prize, get in touch with Thandi on Instagram at @craftgeeeksa Links:🍻Enter or volunteer for Nationals here: https://competitions.nationalhomebrewclub.ie/index.php?msg=5🍻 Irish National Homebrew Club on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/homebrewclubirl/ 🍻 Irish National Homebrew Club on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/643638690896195Thandi’s article on Nationals 2023: https://www.craftgeeksa.com/blog/nationals-thats-a-wrapWhat we’re drinking:🍻Rascals: Pink Lemonade Sour🍻Rascals: Happy Days🍻Kinnegar: Rust Bucket Rye IPABeer Ladies Links: All the beerladies links: linktr.ee/beerladiesChristina’s book from Camra: The Devil’s in the Draught Lines - https://shop1.camra.org.uk/product/the-devils-in-the-draught-lines-1000-years-of-women-in-britains-beer-history/The Devil’s in the Draught Lines on Amazon: https://shorturl.at/qLS08Lisa’s Pub Guide: https://www.weirdodublinpubs.com/Thandi’s (occasional) blog: http://www.craftgeeksa.com/#beerladiespodcast #beerpodcast #homebrewing

We’re rounding off our Women’s Month special replays with Ulrike from Schneeeule in Germany. Did you know that the style of Berliner Weisse nearly died out? Meet one of the brewers who are keeping it - in its most historically accurate form -alive: Ulrike Genz from Schneeeule brewery in Berlin. She tells Lisa, Katie, and Thandi all about how Berliner Weisse should actually contain Brettanomyces, why kettle souring isn’t “the way” and takes us through her own fascinating journey from Civil Engineering to brewing.Links:Interview with Ulrike - https://kraftbier0711.de/ulrike-genz-von-schneeeule/Schneeeule Brewery - https://schneeeule.berlin/de/Good Beer Hunting Signifiers - https://www.goodbeerhunting.com/signifiers-20/2020/12/17/ulrike-genz-schneeeule-brauereiHistory of Berliner Weisse - https://schneeeule.berlin/en/berliner-weisse-history/Brewing your own - https://beerandbrewing.com/recipe-schneeeule-marlene-berliner-weisse/What we’re drinking:Schneeeule - Kennedy https://schneeeule.berlin/en/portfolio/kennedy/To Ol - Yuzual Suspect https://untappd.com/b/to-ol-yuzual-suspect/4959012Lervig - Sour Suzie https://untappd.com/b/lervig-sour-suzy/1013486Ayinger - Weisenbock https://untappd.com/b/ayinger-privatbrauerei-ayinger-weizenbock/8973Beer Ladies Links: All the beerladies links: linktr.ee/beerladiesChristina’s book from Camra: The Devil’s in the Draught Lines - https://shop1.camra.org.uk/product/the-devils-in-the-draught-lines-1000-years-of-women-in-britains-beer-history/The Devil’s in the Draught Lines on Amazon: https://shorturl.at/qLS08Lisa’s Pub Guide: https://www.weirdodublinpubs.com/Thandi’s (occasional) blog: http://www.craftgeeksa.com/#beerladiespodcast #beerpodcast #womeninbeer

Welcome back to another Women’s Month replay - and this week we’re rebroadcasting our chat with Apiwe Nxusani-Mawela, one of South Africa’s best known brewers. Apiwe was the first black woman in South Africa to own a brewery, and boasts a CV that would make almost any brewer look like an amateur. She’s had a very interesting journey into and through the beer world, with loads of ups and downs - today we talk about her brand Tolokazi, her NPO Brew4Change as well as her personal adventures all over the world judging and talking about beer. Links:🍻 Tolokazi website: https://tolokazibeer.co.za/🍻 Apiwe - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tolokazi_thebrewster/🍻 Tolokazi - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tolokazibeer/🍻 Brew4Change - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brew4change.africa/Various articles on Apiwe: 🍻https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apiwe_Nxusani-Mawela🍻https://beersa.org/apiwe-nxusani-mawela/🍻https://www.iol.co.za/business-report/entrepreneurs/apiwe-nxusani-mawela-home-brewed-excellence-5c4ddb6e-3685-4697-aa43-e7ae5dfa8d20🍻https://www.foodformzansi.co.za/apiwe-nxusani-mawela-female-brewster-calls-it-quits/🍻https://www.businessinsider.co.za/booze-bans-shut-down-sas-first-black-woman-brewer-now-her-beer-is-being-made-in-europe-2022-1What we’re drinking:🍻Tolokazi Rooibos & Berry Cider🍻Permon Hazy Citra🍻3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze Beer Ladies Links: All the beerladies links: linktr.ee/beerladiesChristina’s book from Camra: The Devil’s in the Draught Lines - https://shop1.camra.org.uk/product/the-devils-in-the-draught-lines-1000-years-of-women-in-britains-beer-history/The Devil’s in the Draught Lines on Amazon: https://shorturl.at/qLS08Lisa’s Pub Guide: https://www.weirdodublinpubs.com/Thandi’s (occasional) blog: http://www.craftgeeksa.com/#beerladiespodcast #beerpodcast #womeninbeer

Continuing our theme of Women's Month replays - we’re going back all the way to Season 1 (with Covid references even!) where we chatted with Aine from Connemara Brewing. Aine has a rich history in brewing that’s taken her all over the world and has vast experience in both small and macro breweries. She now runs Connemara Brewing (with a great team!) and is employing some very interesting techniques. We loved having Aine on the pod and hope you appreciate the replay!What we’re drinking:🍻Connemara, Galway - Lager - https://www.connemarabrewery.com🍻Connemara, Galway - Ale - https://www.connemarabrewery.com🍻Four Provinces, Dublin - ‘Hurler’ Copper Ale - https://www.fourprovinces.ie🍻Western Herd, Clare - ‘Coast Road’ IPA - https://www.westernherd.com/product/coast-road/Links:🍻Connemara Brewing Co. - https://www.connemarabrewery.com🍻Herriot Watt, UK - https://www.hw.ac.uk/🍻Matilda Bay, Australia - https://matildabay.com/Beer Ladies Links: 🍻All the beerladies links: linktr.ee/beerladies🍻Christina’s book from Camra: The Devil’s in the Draught Lines - https://shop1.camra.org.uk/product/the-devils-in-the-draught-lines-1000-years-of-women-in-britains-beer-history/🍻The Devil’s in the Draught Lines on Amazon: https://shorturl.at/qLS08🍻Lisa’s Pub Guide: https://www.weirdodublinpubs.com/🍻Thandi’s (occasional) blog: http://www.craftgeeksa.com/#beerladiespodcast #beerpodcast #womeninbeer

Friends, the long-awaited and much-anticipated arrival of Christina’s book is here! It’s officially being launched on 7 March but is available already (see below). In this episode, we turn Christina from host into guest and grill her on what the book is about, the process of writing it, and what to look forward to from her. Do support her, this is important work that tells the stories of women and their role in beer brewing from Medieval times until now in the UK. What we’re drinking:Rascals - Cold IPAHope - Hop Off (NA)Links:Christina’s book from Camra: The Devil’s in the Draught Lines - https://shop1.camra.org.uk/product/the-devils-in-the-draught-lines-1000-years-of-women-in-britains-beer-history/The Devil’s in the Draught Lines on Amazon: https://shorturl.at/qLS08Christina’s Blog - Braciatrix - https://braciatrix.com/Beer Ladies Links: All the beerladies links: linktr.ee/beerladiesLisa’s Pub Guide: https://www.weirdodublinpubs.com/Thandi’s (occasional) blog: http://www.craftgeeksa.com/#beerladiespodcast #beerpodcast #ukbeerhistory #womeninbeer
