麻豆约拍

Poet Daljit Nagra revisits the 麻豆约拍's radio poetry archive selecting Gone for a Burton about the town that lives and abides by water.

"These are the wild geographies of yeast..." Poet Jean Sprackland visits the breweries and tap-rooms of her home town, Burton-upon-Trent, to write a radio poem about the centuries-old art of brewing, and its rich linguistic legacy. She talks to brewers, beer-drinkers, coopers and landladies about Burton's place in brewing history, and the recent flowering of microbrewers and micropubs in the town.

Produced by Emma Harding

First broadcast on 麻豆约拍 Radio 4 in 2016.
