Many of us, if we’re fortunate to do so, will travel in our lives. Often it’ll be for holiday and sometimes it will be to live or work elsewhere. Travel, as they say, broadens the horizons.

And it’s this mentality that Julia Huber subscribes to, the German native is the head brewer at ORABrewing in London.

Founded in 2016, ORA started with the aim to create beers that marry the quality of the best Italianingredients with contemporary beer styles. Limoncello IPA? No problem. Balsamic Milk Stout? Sure thing.

And although they started in 2016, the brewing story started some eight years before that.

The trio of Daniele Zaccarelli, Pietro Rubbianesi, Emanuele Poletti decide to start making craft beer for fun in their garage, using the equipment provided by a friend.

But fast-forward to 2020, and ORA Brewing in London is guided by Julia Huber, Working in Eng-land’s capital isn’t her first experience working abroad though, far from it. There’s the small matter of her time in New Zealand and Greenland, too. All by the age of 23.

In this podcast, we speak to Julia about growing up in Germany, finding a love of beer from an early age and the different cultures she’s been part of throughout her journey in brewing.
