| James Buchanan, SBWF2017 |
Till årets festival så ingår han i Wicked Wines UK-Trippel, 3 stycken bryggerirepresentanter som besöker Stockholms största ölfestival..
Jag skickade några frågor till James och fick dessa svar.
• Alf Tycker Om Öl; What has been going on with Thornbridge since last we met (autumn 2017)?
James Buchanan Thornbridge; Lots! We have been doing much more beer into can formats and a few hundred
seasonal beers since we last talked! Recently our Necessary Evil just won Best
Barrel Aged Beer in the World at the World Beer Awards https://www.worldbeerawards.com/winner-beer/beer/2022/worlds-best-flavoured-beer-world-beer-awards-2022
• ATOÖ; We
spoke about Brexit, you weren’t to worry about it then – how has It worked out
so far?
JBT; We make it work
• ATOÖ; Sustainability and organic – climate changes is a rising subject. How do you work to minimize your footprint in mother nature? Do your brew any organic beers?
JBT; We have appointed a sustainability lead,
working with other breweries to see what they do and implementing this across
our departments. We are working on a number of different projects with our
water and C02 and also re-use all spent hops and grain ourselves.
• ATOÖ; Production size – do you produce as much, or more, beer as you did 5 years ago?
JBT; Cask, Keg, Bottles/Cans? We do, in all
formats
• ATOÖ; How
much do you export? Sweden?
JBT; Sweden is a great growing market for us
with Wicked Wine.
• ATOÖ; Any
collaborations planned – post-pandemic (almost)? I’d love to see a collaboration
with some of our Swedish brewers.
JBT; Always some in the pipeline, just having
released them with Pomona Island and Fierce Brewery, lots to come!
Many thanks to James for your answers, looking forward to meeting you again during the festival!
