YouTube video by The Craft Beer Channel Utopian Brewery changed how we think about British ingredients.

NEW VIDEO @everyone!

This week we are at Utopian Brewing, who make world-class traditional continental lagers using all British ingredients – something they were told couldn't be done.

Today's thumbnail folks! Live around 4pm....

In case you missed it, this is what happens when two Youtubers try a real job.

YouTube video by The Craft Beer Channel We spent a day as pro brewers at St Austell

"I've broken the cask line, Bradley"

This week we did our first ever shifts as professional brewers, working the day at St Austell as they brewed Tribute – we filled casks, handled the mash, skimmed yeast and of course tested it at the end...

YouTube video by The Craft Beer Channel Rivington Brewery don't hold back

Hey! Sorry for the delay with this week's video.

We are on the train after a truly MAD 48 hours at St Austell (for Keep Cask Alive s3!) and Utopian a beer for our upcoming festival.

Talking of mad, the pastry sour & stout in this week's video are also utterly insane.

Hey all - sorry we missed our upload today. We were so busy at St Austell I never finished up all the upload shiz. I'll send live tomorrow at 4pm instead!

Next month @craftbeerchannel.bsky.social host their annual Love & Beer festival. It’s a celebration of all things beer and homebrewing. Here’s some photos from last year at Hackney Brewery (RIP).

Excited to reveal the line-up for Love & Beer 2025! There are going to be some amazing beers on the day - we have already brewed with Baron and are off to Utopian next week!

Link to tix are in our bio!x

One of our favourite live shows!

Hey everyone! Sorry it's a day late but this week's vid is live!

I head to the Cape's wine region to visit a brewery that focuses on using native hops, local herbs and spices, and wine barrels. And just days after we visited, one of the beers won the Best Beer in Africa 2025.

YouTube video by The Craft Beer Channel Aegir Brewing: the world's best beachside hazies

Hey EVERYONE! WE'RE HITTING THE BEACH! WE JUST CAN'T SEE IT!

I'm still in Cape Town, and this week I'm visiting a beachside brewery that's known for making phenomenal hazy beer – but I also find philosophy, great wild ale, and even a lactose beer I don't hate.

Cheers! Glad you liked it

Haha you don't say

In the first of a four-part series about the beer scene in Cape Town, I visit the amazing Banana Jam cafe – a Caribbean restaurant with a brewery on the first floor that happens to be one of the original craft breweries in South Africa.
