It is labelled the “Olympics of Beer Competitions” and this year was a spectacular full-stop to the annual Craft Brewers Conference with a night of glitz, a little glamour* and a lot of celebration as the world’s beer industry recognised the best of its own. I was at the World Beer Cup for the very [...]

The appointment by Swedish national newspaper Dagen’s Nyheter of Sanna Blomquist as its new beer writer should have been cause for celebration among Swedish beer fans starved for so long of information about their favourite drink in the popular press. But my personal celebrations were cut short when just five paragraphs into the newly appointed [...]

It’s a word that’s been building up inside of me since shortly after I landed in Copenhagen over four days ago. A word that rarely belongs in my world as a beer geek. Enough.

You know you’re in America when you drive past those towering roadside signs with the black letters that proclaim messages like ‘God Loves You’. As I pulled into my hotel last week I was greeted by one such sign declaring “Welcome to San Diego and the Craft Brewers Conference 2012’. Different words perhaps, but the [...]

It was supposed to be so different. It was supposed to be a rousing tribute to indomitable spirit, adventure and camaraderie. It was supposed to be about the Craft Brewers Conference, about trendy craft beer bars filled with perfect looking Californians, of parties overflowing in brewers and over 140 San Diego beers on tap, of [...]

I think I know what it’s like to be dead. I’ve just spent 10 hours buried in a small wooden box in Rest and Fly at Arlanda reluctantly listening to other people making out, opening and shutting doors, talking on telephones and dragging suitcases recklessly down corridors. I promised myself as I woke at 4.14am [...]

Have you ever wondered what it takes to open a craft brewery? To really try and turn that well-used line in the pub (“I could brew better beer than this”) into a reality? Well from today I’m planning to show you with the launch of the Beer Studio blog. It’s my way of making you [...]

Yesterday I went back to school. My teacher was Jessica Heidrich. The subject? Beer. The Queen of Swedish brewing flew into a chilly City of Birches to give a lecture on the story of beer past, present and future at Umeå University, followed by an in-depth tasting of beers for students and alcohol industry tradespeople [...]
