"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

I'm sure you'll forgive the clickbaity title but it's a question I've been asking for the last 10 years. Most brewery businesses start by obtaining a premises, purchasing equipment, commissioning a brewhouse and getting to work making beer. However, what happens to those of us out there who don't have access to the kinds of capital required to open their own brewhouse and taproom but still have the passion and zeal, business and brewing skills required to make a go of it...?
In this episode, Nick chats to Colin Stronge - a well-known and highly respected figure in modern British beer about he and his wife, marketing executive Vik Stronge, moved out of employed work to start Lost Cause Brewing Co. without owning a brewhouse of their own. Nick shares his own journey and how, by asking whether contract brewing is a long-term viable option, whether - ultimately - a owning your own plant and equipment is the only real way forward.
We dig into details surrounding industry and customer perceptions about contract brewing, what to look for in a brewery partner, and how to navigate the many unknowns of building a brewery brand without a brewery of your own.
Since recording this episode in January, Lost Cause Brewing Co. announced a Crowdfunder project to raise £60,000 in order to build their own brewhouse in Castleford, near Leeds, where their taproom and storehouse is currently located.
Please take a moment to help Colin and Vik by pledging some money towards their project, if you are able:

Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedThis week on the Hop Forward Podcast, we're diving into one of the most fascinating corners of brewing: blending and wild beers with Dan Wye who oversees Origins , the wild and spontaneous fermentation arm of Fyne Ales . From wild yeast and spontaneous fermentation to barrels, foraging, and time-honoured techniques, this episode is all about the magic that happens when nature takes the lead in beer making. While Fyne Ales is widely known for its flagship pale ale, Jarl, the brewery has been pushing boundaries since launching its wild beer programme in 2017, drawing inspiration from the rugged Scottish Highlands that surround their farm brewery. From tart, funky, and fruity flavours to complex, farmyard-esque depth, Origins beers are a true reflection of place, season, and time. In this episode, we discuss: 🍻 The brewing and fermenting process behind wild ales 🛢️ Selecting and preparing barrels for aging 🌿 Foraging for unique local ingredients 📦 Packaging and conditioning wild beers 🔥 And so much more!

Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedNick Smith from Steam Machine Brewing Company joins us on the Hop Forward Podcast this week to discuss their unique subscription service, The Fellowship of the Beer. The Fellowship of Beer is an extension of Steam Machine Brewing Company’s mission to showcase just how vastly different every pint of beer can be. Founded in 2015 by husband and wife Nick & Gulen Smith, this North East brewery has always been focused on direct relationships with consumers rather than following race-to-the-bottom mass supply and supermarket deals. Their idea of craft concentrates on the ultra-artisan side of the market, with draught-led quaffing pints fresh from tanks, and distinctive strong beers, often featuring foraged ingredients, lovingly aged away in extra special barrels for months and years, each one a limited edition release. Involving their already adoring fans – and the local response has made up 50% of the original subscribers – as well as opening up to a national audience has been a natural evolution of their consumer-led style. Join us as we discuss everything from barrel-aging and packaging, market competitions analysis and big beer, through to the over-saturation of NEIPAs in the market place as well as working with the fellowship to determine what to brew as part of The Fellowship of the Beer.

Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedWhen Buxton Brewery announced it had gone into administration, shockwaves could be felt across the craft beer community. As a pillar of the UK craft beer scene since 2009, setting benchmarks for quality and innovation with beers like Axe Edge, it was unthinkable that a brewery with such a solid reputation could be amongst the casualties of the current economic climate. However, no business is immune, and Buxton Brewery, it appeared, was no exception. After facing the challenges of the pandemic and navigating a pre-pack administration in 2023, the brewery is now under new ownership and back on stable ground. In this episode, Nick travels to the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District to chat with Dominic Metcalfe, Managing Director of Buxton Brewery, in their stunning taproom opposite the brewhouse. Together, they explore the tough realities of running a brewery in today’s climate, the impact of supermarket sales on craft beer, and how Buxton Brewery is forging a path forward in an ever-changing market. Recorded in September 2024, this candid conversation reveals the complexities of pre-pack administrations, the pressures of the brewing industry, and the enduring passion for quality beer that defines Buxton Brewery.

From Echo and the Bunnymen and Frankie Goes to Hollywood to its most famous sons, The Beatles, the City of Pop has shaped global culture. But Liverpool is far more than music and mop-tops. Home to two iconic football teams, Liverpool F.C. and Everton F.C., the city is also a gem for beer and food tourism. The Grapes pub offers cosy vibes and well-kept cask ales. Dead Crafty on Dale Street showcases rare international beers, while Azvex Brewery & Taproom is a must-visit. For amazing vegetarian Indian street food, Bundobust is unbeatable—don’t miss the Paneer Tikka skewers! One of my all-time favourite breweries, now sadly closed, was Liverpool’s Mad Hatter Brewery. Known for unique beers like Tzatziki Sour and the outrageous Smokey Bacon and Banana Rauchbier, they embodied creativity in brewing. Though gone, Mad Hatter remains a legend in the modern beer scene. Today, a lesser-known brewery, Colbier Brew Co , is carrying the torch. Founded in 2024 on a Bootle industrial estate, Colbier is making waves with Proper Sound Beers inspired by music. Founders Mike Corbett, Vik, and Stu have already showcased their brews at top venues like Manchester’s Port Street Beer House and Sheffield’s The Old Shoe. In this episode, I chat with Mike and Stu about launching a brewery with tight budgets, digging drainage channels with jackhammers, and crafting great beers on a DIY setup.

Without marketing you may have a flagship beer that no one will ever taste. Marketing is one the most important aspects of your business that often gets overlooked or is grossly misunderstood as merely posting a few images to social media and watching the sales come flooding in. But in a crowded beer market, how should we be marketing our breweries, bars, bottle shops and brands? What can we do to stand out on the bar, pop-out of the fridges and get repeated sales? In this week's episode, we return to Moonwake Beer Co (see episode 108 ) and catch up with Marketing and Events Manager, Sarah Sinclair.

Drawing from the land that surrounds the farm, their 20BBL brewhouse sits within rustic stone-built barns, overlooking expansive fields where their own Maris Otter barley is grown for malting and beer production. From the intimate setting of the Brewery Lodge, a secluded private tasting space reserved exclusively for invited guests, we sit down with members from the brewery, the vibrant Compton Abbas Airfield taproom and eatery, and Ritchie's London pub, Lore of the Land , before being joined by Guy Ritchie. Our discussion covers everything from the brewery's beers and the cultivation of Maris Otter barley grown on the estate, to the complexities and challenges inherent in running a brewery set in such a rural area surrounded by country pubs. We also explore the unique dynamic of having a high-profile figure at the helm and how it influences the brewery's identity and operations. Guy Ritchie himself explains how growing up in pubs fostered his interest in storytelling and explains why believes that there's no such thing as a bad pub, only different ones, and cherishes the unique character of each one.

Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedOn the podcast this week, we're joined by Andy from Ampersand Brew Co , based in Diss, Norfolk (UK). Started by a family team of Amy, Andy & Adrian Hipwell in a converted barn on the family farm, the team have now expanded and moved to our current site in Diss. Their bespoke brewhouse, designed and fabricated to their own unique set up and specification was specifically designed to optimise what they like to brew and to put people at the heart of the brewhouse, to ensure people get home on time. The brewery was set up to produce high-quality small-batch beer, following their simple philosophy of producing the beer we want to drink to the best standard possible. On their website, Ampersand states, ‘By doing this we hope the beer speaks for itself and that you will enjoy it as much as we do.’ Having been kind enough by Andy to send me some of their beers, I can personally attest to the quality of their beers.
