200 - Burnley Oktoberfest

It's our 200th episode and what better place to celebrate than with our most excellent friends from Burnley Brewing.

There's been some changing faces but the quality of the beers is still awesome and our chat with Cal Fowler teaches us all about the history of the styles and the tricks to making them perfect.

We hear what brought him to the brewery and what tweaks he's made to the recipes left by Michael and just how stressful preparing for Oktoberfest is for the brewing team.

We learn of the carnage that a single washer can wreak on a mash tun and just how tricky it can be to avoid spelling mistakes when you work at Burnley.

With 6 different collaborators there's a lot to unpack with lessons from collaborating breweries many of whom we've featured on the podcast recently.

We learn all about this year's new awesome labels and the secret that's hidden in them and the nickname for Cal's hop gun!

And finally there's a lot of talk about gingerbread and cookie recipes!
