Gets excited about draught beer quality, brewing yeast and fermentation. EiC of the Journal of the Institute of Brewing, coauthor of a big book on yeast and huge fan of LFC.
The latest open access Journal of the Institute of Brewing is out at jib.cibd.org.uk/index.php/ji... with papers on sustainability and the use of faba beans in the grist, the variables impacting on hop creep, and two papers on the aroma of whisky (long chain esters and rate of distillation).

📍 Find Thornbridge at The Harrington Arms, Thulston.
They have just launched their house beer, The Harrington Arms, a refreshing Hazy Session IPA. Alongside this, you can enjoy Green Mountain Alcohol Free, plus a rotating Thornbridge cask line, featuring our Year of Beer brews.
The Atom Heart Mother ‘suite’ is magnificent. I remember them playing it at one of the free Hyde Park concerts.

Lots of well meaning noise in the media (hello BBC) about high levels of glycerol in slushies. Surprising then, that even in the publication that's triggered this, glycerol is not quantified in slushies. Mmmmm.
