Turning Stories Into Beer: The Folk Tale Inspired World of Brid's Cross
In this episode, we chat with Sean O’Reilly, founder of Brid’s Cross Brewery, a Rochdale based brewery where folklore and fermentation go hand in hand. Sean shares the journey of how Brid’s Cross was born from a blend of personal passion, family encouragement, and a love for storytelling.
We also dive into:
- How Sean turned homebrewing into a full-time brewery
- Why storytelling is at the heart of Brid’s Cross
- The challenges of starting an independent brewery today
- Cask vs keg, British hops, and experimenting with yeast
- Getting indie beer into pubs and beyond
Whether you’re a fan of traditional cask ales, modern hop-forward styles, or just love a good origin story, then this episode has something for you.
