My name is Eoghan Walsh from Brussels Beer City, and this is Episode 8 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.

I was delighted to be joined remotely in Brussels by:

John Holl (@john_holl), co-founder and editor of the Beer Edge newsletter, host of the podcast Drink Beer, Think Beer and co-host of Steal This Beer, as well as many books and more besides

Jules Johnston (@johnstonjules), Scottish by birth but living in Brussels and working as senior editor at The Brussels Times

And Lauren Rankin (@laurenrankin), activist and freelance writer covering reproductive rights and feminist politics, whose work has featured in the Washington Post, Rolling Stone, and Teen Vogue. Lauren was also, in a former life, the voice of US pharmacy chain Walgreens.

Over the course of a couple of beers, we talked about finding positives - or at least inner truths - during lockdowns, planning for a wedding during a pandemic, and the importance of mastering the choreography of Frozen II.

Beers featured in this episode came from Brasserie de la Senne, Threes Brewing, and Brussels Beer Project.
