Our guest today is rewriting the English dictionary. No longer will “it’s just small beer” mean something unimportant. From now on, small beer means just that small beer!

I’m Susan Schwartz, your drinking companion, and this is Lush Life Podcast, every week we are inspired to live life one cocktail at a time by the best in the industry. 

Felix James, cofounder of Small Beer Brew company here in London gave me a history lesson on Small Beer - A lower ABV version of beer that was drunk by most men women and children alike, as early as Chaucer and Shakespeare’s time. Water could kill you so small beer it was. Even George Washington has his own recipe.

One day after work, Felix longed for a great beer that wouldn’t leave him unable to drive home. This thought keep repeating itself until he and his partner decided it was time to fill that gap in the market and create their own. 

How does this fit into Season 4’s classic collection? Well if Chaucer and Shakespeare were drinking it than it’s a classic in my book!

Always remember the wise words of Oscar Wilde, “All things in moderation, including moderation,” and always drink responsibly!
