Episode 6 - Beavergate

Beers Without Frontiers

For this episode the BWF team hopped on the train to Birmingham and huddled around a microphone in independent bottle shop Clink in Digbeth. We were joined by special guest Rob Derbyshire of @Hopzine beer reviews on You Tube and discussed reviewing beers on YouTube and the news that Beavertown have sold a minority share to behemoth brewers Heineken for £40m. Correction: In this episode Simon mentions the Lock and Key beer convention in Birmingham. Unfortunately he got the date wrong! It should have been the 20th to 22nd July, not the 28th.
