It’s official: The Beer Ladies love wort. Fermented, hopped, de-alcoholised, and otherwise, as long as it tastes lovely, Thandi, Christina, Katie, and Carolyn are here for it. Tag along as they try a self-curated selection of bottles and cans, and talk about the various ways non-alcoholic beers are made, now and in our dreams. We put ourselves out there to help you imagine the future of home-brew and the flavours that could be. So, do you want to try your brew heated, filtered, or a beverage brewed with slow-burn yeast? Or no yeast at all!
Things we spoke about in the episode:
How alcohol-free beers are made (a few methods)
Why AF beers normally suck
Price expectations for AF beers
Toxic drinking culture & how dry January has become a pressure-filled thing
