In the final episode of the series we look at breweries who are using their success to make waves not only in beer circles, but in their wider communities as well. We interview Brooklyn Brewery's ridiculously cool Brewmaster Garrett Oliver and BrewDog's Head of Task Force, Sarah Warman, about how these breweries are shaping the future of beer. For our final brew we take another look at beer pairing, this time designing and brewing a beer specifically to complement a particular dish.

This one's all about old beer. Not that dodgy corner-shop can you've had kicking around at the back of your cupboard for almost a year - we mean beer that's been deliberately, lovingly looked after in a barrel, in a bottle, or both, to develop complexity and flavour. Beer Sommelier/Belgian beer expert Sofie Vanrafelghem tells us about traditional Belgian aged beers. We ask Dougal Gunn Sharp, co-founder of Innis & Gunn, how he gets the delicious flavours of oak into his beers on such a large scale. Our own brew this week is a big, boozy sherry oak chip-infused stout.

This week we learn about cask ale. What is it and why are people so passionate about it?

This week we attempt to find out what makes one beer 'better' than another. We learn what to look out for when tasting beers, expand our beer flavour lexicon, and try to improve upon a disastrous brew recipe from Season 1. We get tasting tips from the Thinking Drinkers before heading to the Peak District to visit Thornbridge, a brewery known for quality, consistency and innovation.
