FUNK YEAH!!! Brand new episode β¨β¨
This week I'm joined by Dan Wye from @fyneales.bsky.social Origins to talk all things funk, farmyard and wild fermenation! We discuss barrels, foraging, packaging wild beers, selling them and a whole heap more!

My favourite Untappd review yetβ¦! πππ―
β¦when we were asked back to go and sell our beer there for their Carols Festival and Market (if youβve been following our story closely, that was a big dealβ¦ if not, itβs a LONG story!).
There are some things fermenting at the moment that, if they come to fruition, will be BUG for 2025. Until then:
Thatβs it folks for 2024! β¨
Another year of highs and lows, including a caustic-in-the-eye accident, being on the radio, having our beer blessed by the bishop, giving a talk on A Brief History of Beer and Belief, equipment upgrades, my mumβs passing π and a redemptive experience at STC Sheffieldβ¦
Merry Christmas everybody! May your day be blessed and filled with joy, cheer and great beer! π»π

Actually got my act together enough to not only put some gift packs together but sell them at a market stall this coming Sunday evening at STC Sheffield.
If you're interested in pre-ordering them (you need to collect them from the market) head over to emmanuales.co.uk/product/chri...
Thanks π
And for my next trickβ¦! π€πβ¨π
Happy Birthday and I hope you get well soon Jessica.

MUSIC NEWS!!! On Fri 7th Dec, I'm releasing an old-new song. Written over 23 years ago, "Jamie's Magic Rocket" never quite got the airing I felt it deserved.
Well, now you can help me get a Christmas No.1 with this completely new recording ππ

Loxley Breweryβs single hop cask Mosaic π€€π€€π€€
I think The Raven Inn in Sheffield is the perfect pub. Comfy seating, well conditioned cask ale, and they always have banginβ tunes playing in the background at just the right volume.
Anyone else get absolutely ravenous when theyβre brewing? Been up since 4.30am, casting off now and am about ready for lunch!
Hoping Iβm all done and dusted by 1pm. I can feel the pub calling me! ππ»
Mashing in an Old Ale today called βVintage Jesusβ. Wish me luck! π€
And if you want to stock our beer, good luckβ¦! Thereβs never enough to go around.
Although, Iβve heard thereβs a guy who and multiply loaves and fish, so maybeβ¦! π€ π

Although I take my faith seriously, I certainly wouldnβt identify as an evangelical Christian anymore. These days, I have more questions than answers and Iβm just trying to get to heaven before they close the door.
Weβre not out to force religion down peopleβs throats: just beer.
β¦Cheeses of Nazareth π§π€¦π»ββοΈπ
As you can tell, we enjoy a good Bible based pun, such as:
I mainly brew in my cellar and most of our (itβs a family effort) beer goes into can with the occasional keg and cask.
Iβve visited monks, work in the brewing industry, run a podcast and also put on various events including Beer & Carols.
Iβm hoping to run a beer and cheese evening calledβ¦
A bit about Emmanuales:
Emmanuales is a nano brewery based in Sheffield brewing beers of biblical proportions by balding, brewing, modern monk Nick Law (thatβs me).
I left the megachurch to start a microbrewery in 2016 and have been on a journey of Faith, Hops and Charity ever since.
We (the royal we!) have moved over from X to Bluesky. The artist formally known as Twitter has become a hotbed or hatred, bots and MAGA supporters and is rife with conspiracy theories and negativity.
So here we areβ¦! π»π
