Nobody leaves Prize Old Ale in the corner. Welcome to We Are Beer People, a podcast all about the many different people who help us enjoy beer. Today’s guest is Henry Kirk, a much celebrated brewer and a big proponent of well-brewed beers rooted in history. Henry's brewed at Fuller's and Dark Star amongst others and is now setting up his own brewery project, Sunken Knave. So join us as we discuss Henry's journey into beer, the importance of time, drinking in dressing gowns, securing Gale’s Prize Old Ale and future plans with Sunken Knave.
