I’ve been working in Cannes for the past week. Long days interviewing & writing. My step count looks impressive. My diet of tiny canapés, less so. I can’t wait to be home. I miss real life. Normal service shall resume soon. Someone, please, pop the kettle on & find me a warm jumper.

First flight of the morning is Vienna lager. One of my absolute favourites when done well. Rich, a touch of caramel and a smooth clean dryness on the finish. ✨

Ube lager. Butter, raw dough, coconut on the nose and “Oh dear God, WHY?!” On the palate.

Breakfast beers #worldbeerawards are underway. Here’s the first flight kicking off today’s 70 beers. Just shy of a 10am start. What would your ideal breakfast beer be?

There is an argument to suggest that you can never truly judge the finish of the beer if you spit. But I do use a spittoon. I might not later on, dependent of the calibre of speciality brews on my final flight. 😉

Good morning. I’m chairing a table of judges at the #WorldBeerAwards until Thursday. We need to taste our way through 1,500 beers within the next 3 days. If I don’t reply to your email, it’s because I’m having a lie down. Okay, let’s go… 💪

I’ll be chairing a table of judges once again at this year’s World Beer Awards. It is both an honour and a privilege to return. Each year informs me about which countries are leading in terms of quality and beer styles. And I meet a lot of excellent brewers and beer experts too. Cannot wait.

Three beers in and we’ve covered: work, relationships, families, writing, recipes, music, death, fashion, therapy, judging, travel, friendships and exercise.
All of this punctuated with: “taste this, disarming for a 5.4%, isn’t it?”
Pubs huh? They crack us wide open. It’s brilliant.

Pretty sure it was this declaration that made the van’s coolant pipe split and lead to the engine overheating too. Fucksake.
