Some news for anyone with long flights on their holidays, commuting into work tomorrow or going for a long long walk with the dog. We have two audio episodes up on our website and all the favourite podcasting platforms.
I (Andy) especially enjoyed the Hopsteiner episode on my flight yesterday. Was fascinating hearing how Hopsteiner have been innovating since the 80’s bringing hop oils to the market. I recently brewed with the Alora that Chris bought and it’s banging creamy fruity beer.
We also have the episode with Stiffo from the maltmiller where I thought it would be a good idea to drink the full bottle of all 6 strong beers he sent. If you can understand me by the end you deserve a gold medal 🤣

Enjoy!

Well, we’ve had a couple of weeks off, the audio edits are done and this weekend we’ve got another fun podcast with our good friend and fellow brewing monster, James Stiff from The Malt Miller.

Stiffo is gonna be sending us some beers, and we’re gonna drink them, let him know what we think and generally have a chat like we were down the pub with the lad. Should be a good one!

Also, if you’ve never seen him acting, check out this video, dudes got some moves! lol

For all our audio podcast listeners, we have two new podcasts available for your enjoyment. Episodes 115 Happy Yeast and Episode 116 Brewing in the Future are both now live on your favourite podcasting platforms.
In happy yeast, we dive deep into one of the most critical—and often overlooked elements of homebrewing: yeast health and fermentation management.
https://www.thehopaddition.uk/archives/podcast/episode-115-happy-yeast

Epsiode 116 is a thought-provoking episode of The Hop Addition, we gaze into the (beer-filled) crystal ball to explore what the future holds for homebrewing, the brewing industry, and drinking culture as a whole.

We’re back with a bang! Stick with me for a moment, don’t just read the first line…

We’ve done a lot of episodes, we’ve talked about a lot of things, but Tricky is away this weekend and we wanna get a bit… futuristic. We’ve earned the leeway to be a bit out there for an episode or 2, so this weekend Chris, Andy and Owen will be sinking a few cold ones and looking to the future at what we can see on the horizon, no matter how theoretical it is, to what brewing could be like in 100 years.

From the effects of climate change, to what could be happening with hops and yeast, futuristic power sources and everything in between.

This one could get weird.

Join us at 8pm Saturday live on YouTube and here for a look into the future!
