*This is part 2 of Natalya Watson’s episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part 1 first or things might be slightly confusing*
Some people like beer. Some people love beer. Some people make it their life. Some people make a LIVING out of their love for it, and this week's guest is one of those lucky people. It's award-winning beer sommelier Natalya Watson!
Natalya is a certified expert on everything to do with beer. History, tasting notes, brewing methods; she's got the whole lot covered. As a beer expert you'd expect her dream pub to be nothing but an infinite row of taps and pumps, but sadly her dream drink choices MUST fit within the criteria set out by Landlord John. How will that work? Let's find out...

0:02.0 | Oh Welcome back to part two of the Moon underwater with Natalia Watson. |
0:32.0 | Natalia is host of the Beer with Nat podcast, author of Beer, |
0:36.5 | Taste the Evolution in 50 Stiles, |
0:38.9 | and is a beer communicator, a beer expert, a beer sommelier, and a certified Ciceroon. What does Ciceroon |
0:44.7 | actually mean, Natalia? So Ciceroon is a qualification created by the Ciceroon Certification Program |
0:50.3 | in the US, and it has four levels of certification. So you've got the certified beer server, |
0:55.4 | that's level one, certified Ciceroen is level two, advanced Ciceroon is level three, and Master Ciceroon, |
1:00.6 | level four. I'm now advanced Ciceroon. I gained that qualification late 2019. So level three, |
1:06.5 | there's about 150 of us in the world with that qualification. And then when you get up to master, there's only |
1:12.1 | 20 of them. So it's a very, very difficult tests that you need to go through to test your |
1:17.4 | palate, test your knowledge of beer. Exhausting, but exhilarating at the same time. |
1:22.2 | It sounds like the sort of qualification that would come with robes or a special hat. |
1:27.3 | Sadly, none of that, but I've got a nice pin badge that I get to work. |
1:30.0 | Oh, okay, okay. |
1:31.5 | Well, maybe suggested them that the master level should have robes and a special hat. |
1:35.7 | You get four cans of special brew. |
1:37.2 | Yeah, four cans of special brew, a special hat. |
1:40.8 | Well, now, I'll ask you this after we've, because we can't leave the listeners on tenterhooks any longer, but there's a question I want to ask you that touches on special brew. |
1:51.1 | But Robin, before we get back to Natalia's pub, please, please remove us from these homophonic tenterhooks. |
1:59.4 | Thanks, John. Yes, this week's Moon Underwater Pub quiz is about |
2:02.0 | homophones, which are words that are pronounced the same, but have different meanings. So I gave you |
