This is the first of our special editions of Radio Brews Brews recorded live at BrewCon19.

Our coverage of BrewCon19 was made possible by Bintani, who are not only providing brewers with the finest ingredients, they gave us the opportunity to bring you the finest guests live.

We were grateful to the IBA that they engaged with us as their official media partner and we had a studio to record some great chats that you will get to enjoy over coming weeks.

Anyone who thinks and reads about beer should know Pete Brown. He’s been named British Beer Writer of the Year multiple times, as well as publishing books on beer, beer culture and beer history including Man Walks into a Pub, Three Sheets to the Wine and Hops and Glory.

Pete gave the keynote presentation at BrewCon and gave his audience plenty to think about. If you’re an IBA member, you will have access to his presentation in coming weeks and it is a good reason to join if you’re not.

We pick up on a couple of the themes he raised in his keynote, as well as discuss the constant change and evolution that is taking place in the beer market while noting that in some ways that the more things change, the more of a recurring pattern we see.

BrewCon 2020 will take place on September 21 and 22 next year.

Enjoy the conversation.
