Time with Red Willow Brewery

Maz and Floz take a trip up to Macclesfield to meet Toby and Caroline of Red Willow Brewery as they celebrate the breweries 15th birthday. They did this in the best way any brewery can do - with exciting collab brews! Maz, in her official capacity for Lost and Grounded Brewers, was invited to take part in the brewing of a traditional Marzen - which after 3 months lagering is finally available! So crack open a beer and learn all about the story of Red Willow.

We sit down with James Rylance of Ideal Day Family Brewery, drink a freshly opened Saison Dupont 750ml, and have a free flowing conversation about the beer industry in the UK, regenerative agriculture, and where family fits into it all.

Maz and Floz return with a little life update, plans for the future of the podcast - and of course a couple of beers.

In this weeks episode Maz and Floz delved deep into the cupboard of doom and pulled out two nicely aged bottles, Cantillion's 'Rosè de Gambrinus' from 2017 and Wild Beer Co 'Ninkasi' from 2013 (?) , and discuss the legends behind their namesakes.

Maz and Floz crack open a few delightful cans from a newcomer from the North East who have already made a real impression on the industry - Alpha Delta Brewing Co.

Maz and Floz have been busy of late, but not too busy to go out for a pint and test drive their new portable recorder! This episode is made up of two recordings from their first day returning to the pubs, as the latest lockdown restrictions ease.

This week Maz and Floz reach for their pitchforks and flaming torches, and charge headlong into the history of riots instigated in the name of beer.

In part two of this deep dive into the holy sea of Trappist beer, Maz and Floz discuss some of the novitiates (arguably) of the Trappist world: La Trappe, Spencer and Tynt Meadow.

In part one of the history of Trappist brewing, Maz and Floz open some classic Belgian examples from Westmalle, Rochefort and Orval, and discuss what a Trappist is, why brewing is important to them, and how history has changed these beers for the better.

In this episode Maz and Floz tuck into a delicious range of Abbey inspired beers from Sheffield based brewery St Mars of the Desert, while discussing their ethos and origin story.
