About this listen

Ed Hughes is a certified beer sommelier, the author of Just add Beer - a book about beer and food pairing - and also one of my oldest friends. Based in Cornwall he works at Sharps Brewery as an educator and advocate for Molson Coors but also the beer category as a whole.

This is a wide ranging conversation about beer, where we drink through 10 different beers reflecting a bunch of styles, whilst covering the ingredients, production, marketing, packaging, culture and public perception of beer - with more than a little bit of beer and food chat. Quite a few chefs get name checked.

Expect to learn how German lagers dominated the world, what defines a cask ale, who drinks the most beer in the world, what food you should pair a Belgian Lambic Ale with, and what a 10% beer aged 14 years tastes like.

Beers Tasted:

  • Sharp’s Offshore Pilsner
  • Staropramen
  • Bamberg Rauchbier
  • Sharps Doom Bar
  • Blue Moon
  • Sharps Chalky’s Bite
  • Duchesse de Bourgogne
  • Boon Oude Geuze
  • Sharp’s Quadruple Ale 2011
