Summary
Rod Maxwell visits Weetwood Ales (https://www.weetwoodales.co.uk/) in rural Cheshire and talks with brewer Matthew Knop about the brewery’s history, brewing process and the taproom experience. The episode explores recipe development, pilot brews, beer styles (including a notable non‑alcoholic lager), distribution and the distillery side—how spirit is distilled, casked and aged into Cheshire single malt whisky. Listeners get a behind‑the‑scenes look at craft brewing, food pairings, tours and the years‑long investment behind whisky production.
