It's Turkey week and this week Joanne is learning all about Thanksgiving and the traditions associated with it from Lisa, Sarah, and Bean.

Who doesn't love pumpkin...

This week Katie takes the reins and is talking about the various Gods that have ruled the beer world since the dawn of time. She is joined by Joanne and resident beer history buffs Christina and Lisa. Listen out for stories about St Brigid, Ninkasi, Hatho, Nomkhubulwane as well as others.

Ever heard of Chicha? Neither had today's host Carolyn. She and Katie (who's making her BL debut!) learn all about Chicha, and the women who brewed it from our resident history buffs: Christina and Lisa. Expect to learn a bit about the history of Chicha, it's standing within Incan society, and how it's linked to sacrifice. Christina even has a homemade non-alcoholic variety (Ch...

In this week's episode, Christina and Thandi chat with two prominent women in the Irish Beer scene: Kellie Dawson and Erica Burke.

In this episode, Thandi, Carolyn, Sarah, and Bean are having a Lockdown Oktoberfest: Locktoberfest! Each has chosen a beer that is seasonal and will talk about their choice.

In our very first episode Thandi, Lisa, and Christina are going back in time.   They will take you through why the stereotypical depiction of witches (pointy hat, broom, black cat) is absolutely NOT based on Medieval (5th - 15th century) Alewives, despite what the History Channel says.  Helpful links:  Christina's references:  Blog post on the topic: https://braciatrix.com/2017/10/27/nope-med...
