CAMRA’s popular podcast Pubs. Pints. People. returns for a seventh season with a bumper-sized episode.

The latest series kicks off with an extra-long episode, Marvelous Mild, with the podcast team travelling to the Black Country in search of the malty style.  

The episode puts a spotlight on West Midland brewers and pubs. Brewer Alice Batham and operations manager Clare Batham of Bathams and brewer Ricky Follos of Sarah Hughes brewery, plus general manager Alex Marchant of the Beacon Hotel in Sedgley, lift the lid on the Dudley beer scene.

The mild style and Black Country beer culture are discussed with writer, speaker and teacher Professor Carl Chin, author of the Sunday Times bestseller Peaky Blinders: The Real Story.

The podcast also sheds light on CAMRA’s Champion Beer of Britain award. Chatting to certified trainer and European Beer Consumers Union (EBCU) accredited judge, Christine Cryne, the episode reveals the mammoth process behind the UK’s top beer award.

Finally, the podcast team interviews CAMRA’s commercial director Dean Barrett. 

The full episode is now available on Acast, Spotify and Apple Podcast, and wherever you get your podcasts from. You can listen now by visiting https://camra.org.uk/podcast/
