Hello!


What is a craft ale? Who’s C.A.M.R.A? And what is a cask conditioned ale? What is the difference between a lager, a Pilsner, a bitter, a mild, and so on! The world of beer can be very confusing! All i want is to enjoy my beer with my friends in a cosy pub!


The above are some important questions that you might have never thought about, but thanks to the guest of today’s episode Jonny Garrett we have a lot of in-depth analysis and information clearing things a little.


Beer is never far away in my thoughts nor physically: a pub is relatively close to wherever I am in UK. These are two of the quintessential elements of British life. But my reason for inviting Jonny on the podcast is that he has a new and award winning book out now, with an even more profound and important history regarding beer! The book is called The Meaning of Beer: An Alternative History of the World and explores how -as it was called in many occasions, liquid bread- it gave us nutrition, calories, social bonding, but inventions that went past the food world into medicine and literally saved the lives of millions of humans subsequently! Our understanding of germs started under the microscope of a man trying to work out why beer turned sour!


How would our history be shaped if there wasn’t beer in our lives for the past 13 thousand years?


To find out, let’s dive into today’s episode!
