In this episode of A Woman’s Brew, we look at our next bucket list beer and take a deep dive into one of the UK’s most influential beers: Thornbridge’s Jaipur. Celebrating 20 years of this modern classic, we crack open both the original Jaipur IPA and its alcohol-free sibling, to see if the peak beer of the Peak District still holds up. Expect honest tasting notes, thoughts on what makes Jaipur such a fridge staple, and plenty of laughter about surprising flavor finds — including the unmistakable Maris Otter malt backbone.

We break down how Jaipur helped shape the UK craft scene by bringing bold American hops to British drinkers back in 2005, and share a quick Thornbridge history lesson — from stables in Derbyshire to award-winning brews and legendary collaborations. We also compare how the alcohol-free version stacks up against the original, chatting through the pros and cons for designated drivers who still want a hoppy hit.

Beyond the beer, Joanne and Tori swap stories about visiting Thornbridge’s impressive Bakewell taproom (yes, there’s pizza and barbecue-ready meats too!) and give top tips for a Peak District brewery weekend. And, true to form, we go on the best kind of tangents: Bakewell tarts vs. puddings and a cheeky AI experiment that brings “Gavin Thornby” — the imaginary personification of Jaipur — hilariously to life.

Whether you’re a Jaipur veteran or a curious newbie, this episode is a love letter to a beer that’s stood the test of time. Join as we toast to Thornbridge’s legacy — and maybe inspire you to plan your own brewery road trip soon!
