Hello!

Some while ago, I did a pod on beer around the world. Having just come back from a PressTrip to Plsen in Czechia, where I was paid to drink beer, I figured it was the right time to do another on the subject, but this time looking at beer in general. About different beer styles. About where my interest came from. And about quirky experiences and unusual beers I've had in my life around and about.

So, why don't you settle down, open a beer (I will accept non-alcoholic ones though curiously I've never found a non-alcoholic beer I've liked. The last one was some German beer that tasted and smelt of feet that had gone off. And I'm not into that kind of thing), kick back, and listen to tales of ales.

Topics discussed in this episode are:
* The troubles of not having a bank card
* Being social
* How I discovered a liking for beer
* A brief history of beer
* Common types of beer around the world (and Germany)
* Ways of storing and serving beer
* How you can find out what beers you like
* Sampling beers
* The power of marketing
* Favourite and weird beers (cardboard? malt? ashtray?)
* Micropubs
* Travelling for beer, and beer while travelling

A PDF transcript of this episode is available.

As always, if you have anything to say about the topic, or indeed about my podcasting in general, leave a comment or let me know. I have a newsletter with extra content, and where I'll be mentioning future podcast episodes if you want to make your own contribution.

I also have a Patreon - if you like what you hear, and want to access exclusive content (or just to show your appreciation), then head on over.

Until next time, bye for now. :)
