Daftaboutcraft - Craft Beer Podcast - BONUS EPISODE - Expert beer tasting (August 4, 2025)
Dave B and Dave D are waiting for your messages!
You might think we know a thing or two about what beer should taste like, but we thought it would be a good idea to get some tips from the professionals. So, join us on this special bonus episode as we learn how to taste beer like a pro, courtesy of accredited beer sommelier Jamie Percival and Chris Scott, owner of ThirtyFifty, who run wine tastings across the UK.
Jamie and Chris also offer courses for all levels on beer and wine tasting through the Wine & Spirit Education Trust, and here they provide us with a snapshot of how to taste beer properly. This is a really different episode for us and hopefully one you'll enjoy too as we work our way through a selection of beers featuring Dark Revolution, Deya Brewing Company and Drop Project Brewing.
Essential reading recommended by Jamie and Chris: Taste What You're Missing by Barb Stuckey; Miracle Brew by Pete Brown and Beer Pairing: The Essential Guide by Julia Herz and Gwen Conley.
We're delighted to be backed by Craft Brew Festival, curators of a unique beer festival tour across Britain, and Mosaic Board Print, manufacturers of epic beermats.
