Sharp’s Brewery has launched a brand-new podcast series called ‘Just Add Beer’, to educate and inspire people about the mouth-watering fusion of beer and food.
During lockdown the creative team at Sharp’s, based at Rock in Cornwall, has been busy recording the podcast which features Cornish chefs they’ve collaborated with over the years in their quest to raise the profile of beer with food. Just Add Beer: The Podcast is ‘a five-course beer flight of conversation’ that takes listeners on a gourmet mini break to Cornwall with some of the county’s top chefs. The first five episodes are available now on Spotify and via the Sharp’s website.
Featuring the likes of John Walton and Great British Menu contestant Chris McClurg (from Mahé and Paul Ainsworth at no. 6 respectively) and Paul Ainsworth himself, Sharp’s Beer Sommelier, Ed Hughes, is the expert host taking listeners on a culinary journey discussing careers and passions. There is even an accompanying recipe and matching beer list available for each episode via the Sharp’s website.
Sharp’s Brewery is the brewer of the UK’s number one cask ale Doom Bar and 2019 saw longstanding team members Rachel Williams and Ed Hughes writing and editing a Cornish collaborative cookbook ‘Just Add Beer.’ The book celebrates beer both as an ingredient and as a pairing for a variety of recipes, created alongside top chefs who either live and work in Cornwall or have strong links to the county.
Just Add Beer: The Podcast brings the book to life giving listeners a behind-the-scenes insight into some of the chefs, exploring their passions, their inspiration and their personal journeys through successful careers, as well as a deeper-dive on each of their recipes and a few laughs on the way.
Ed Hughes, says, “We have worked hard over the years to champion how beer and food can be the perfect match, transforming perceptions of beer to be more than just a great pint. With our new Just Add Beer podcast we wanted to find a way to share this experience and offer drinkers, fans and foodies a new take on the podcast platform that would both entertain and educate during these unusual times.”
The podcast series can be found on the Sharp’s Brewery website at https://www.sharpsbrewery.co.uk/blogs/PODCAST.
