Making great beer that people enjoy is the goal of any brewer.

Whether that’s a clean, crisp lager or a rich, decadent stout. Producing beers that make people happy is what it’s all about, isn’t it?

But not every brewer follows the tried and tested path when it comes to the beers they create.

So if you’re interested in a Beetroot Biere de Garde, a Rhubarb Hefeweizen or a Bitter with the addition of white and black pepper, then come right this way.

Not only that but the bitter in question supports a fantastic cause, too.

In this podcast we speak to Danny McColl, the founder of McColl’s Brewery in Bishop Auckland about navigating the challenges of the pandemic, expanding the team with a new head brewer and how recent releases such as ‘Let’s eat pies and talk about men’s mental health’ help raise money for local causes as well.
