Cabin Fever Episode 2 - Supermarket sweeps, social media sabbaticals, and sporting withdrawal

My name is Eoghan Walsh from Brussels Beer City, and this is Episode 2 of Cabin Fever - less a podcast than a group therapy session for writers, brewers, and friends who like to enjoy a beer together but, well, can’t.

There’s a lot going on in the world right now, and under normal circumstances we’d get together in the pub and thrash it out over a beer or two. But we can’t - because most of us now live in countries where it’s impossible to go outside, never mind nip around the corner for a drink.

So, we thought we’d do it remotely, and on each episode of Cabin Fever I’ll be joined by friends from around the world to share a beer, talk through and process what they’re dealing with, and sometimes just have a bit of a moan.

On tonight’s show, I was joined tonight for this inaugural episode by:

Katie Mather (@shinybiscuit), writer at Pellicle, Ferment Magazine, oenophile, bibliophile, and author of the essential weekly newsletter The Gulp

Padraig Fox (@foxatronic82), qualified Beer Sommelier. Proud Carlowman. And General Manager of the Guinness Open Gate Brewery Dublin

And Will Hawkes (@Will_Hawkes), long-suffering Fulham fan and beer and travel writer for among others The Washington Post.

In it, we talk surviving the chaos of working from home, the eeriness of the empty streets of Dublin, and the restorative properties of Monty Don.

Listen in.
