Welcome to We Are Beer People - a podcast all about the many different people who help us enjoy beer. I wonder how much we stop to think about who is in the pub with us, who's there's having a drink, who's behind the bar, who made the beer you're drink.   And perhaps, the more important question is who is not there? Fewer than one in 20 adults with learning disabilities in England are in paid...

Welcome to we are beer people, a podcast all about the many different people who help us enjoy beer. It's no wonder that reconviction rates are so high (42% of all UK prison leavers will be reconvicted within 12 months). Prison leavers aren't always set-up for success, leaving with just £76, they need to build up skills and confidence, find accommodation, a place of work and prospects for the futu...

Welcome to we are beer people, a podcast all about the many different people who help us enjoy beer. One of the things I love about beer and brewing is that it is of its time, of its place and of its people.
