Chuffed to see my article on US craft beer trends at Great American Beer Festival in Brewers Journal today! 😊

The Brewers Association Export Development Programme (the part I work in) is funded by a grant from the USDA which means visiting the US Embassy in London for meetings now and then!

Brewers Association has a new President/CEO, Bart Watson. What’s in his in-tray? See here: 👇

RIP Jimmy Carter. He held a special place in US brewing history by legalising home-brewing in 1979. A key reason for the US craft brewing revolution

Barr Watson has been appointed new President/CEO of the Brewers Association, taking over from Bob Pease. He was the chief economist & VP of strategy at the BA and is a hugely respected figure in the US craft beer world! Congrats Bart! 👏👏👏

In Sweden the retail govt monopoly for alcohol forbids any link between alcohol and sport so this little dude on the label of AleSmith .394 has to be removed! Beer is so-named after baseball legend, Tony Gwynn’s career high batting average! (This can’s from Beer Merchants, btw!)

Love our little SW London #BottlesShare that’s been going for 8+years now! A fantastic bunch of beery pals and always a superb range of beers from all over the world! Highlights were a lambic cider & a 15%Bourbon Barrel-Aged Barley Wine! 😋🤤 💪 🔥 Thanks to Brewery Market for hosting! 🥰💛

Another engaging and entertaining read from Will! 👏👏👏 Hard core journalism was ‘toy department’ journalism’s gain! (You’ll need to read the piece to get that particular reference!)

They certainly did hoovering up 84 medals between them! 🇺🇸💪🔥🍺
