I was sitting with Isla one day when she told me about https://www.stewartbrewing.co.uk/craft-beer-kitchen where you can go and get help to brew your own beer. Our friend Isabella was coming over here for her birthday and wouldn't you know it, Isabella loves good beer. Isla doesn't but she does like science so it was a no brainer to make this a sort of birthday present from us. We decided to brew a coffee and vanilla stout and call it Giovani after a goat from a real life scenario in the world of Isabella that all 3 of us somehow turned into a Mafia gangster. In this podcast you'll get to hear our experiences brewing it, told after the fact because it would have been too noisy to record at the time. Secondly you'll hear me interview James, the brewer who helped us turn our idea into something people could drink. Then it's a trip to Stewart's Dockside Tap https://maps.app.goo.gl/3YKkHRQrDn8d69Ty8 to taste the beer with the manager Joe Crookshank who knows his stuff when it comes to beer. Lastly it's a skype call with Isla and Isabella who is back in Austria. Finally the two beer drinkers of the group could have some Giovanni at the same time. Thanks Isla for coming along even though you don't like beer or coffee. Thanks Isabella for coming along and liking beer and Coffee. Thanks Joe for agreeing to record the tasting, the Dockside Tap is my favourite local by a mile. Lastly a special thanks to the people at the Craft Beer Kitchen. We felt welcomd by friendly staff, Angus in particular gave me some good advice on the phone which came in handy and of course thanks James for helping us brew and sharing your knowledge. We loved it and we'll be back.
