In this special episode Adam speaks with Darren Anley, founder of UK's Siren Craft Brew. Despite an ocean between us, our two breweries have a lot in common. We explore what's the same in our brewing scenes, and what's unique about craft beer in the UK (including some crazy tax codes!)
Siren Craft Brew was founded by Darren Anley in 2013, and has quickly grown to one of the best craft breweries in the UK and known worldwide for its collaborations. Located just outside of Reading, near in fact to where Adam used to live, Siren is known widely for its innovative and daring beers, and has been recognized as one of the best breweries in the world by Ratebeer.
Throughout this conversation we circle around the similarities between our breweries, the stories of how we were founded, and both of our interest in pushing the breadth of our beer lineups. But we also explore the unique role that UK craft beer culture and regulations play in to the beers that Siren brews.
