They say a picture is worth 1000 words. As a writer and a beer lover, I think a taste of beer is worth 1000 words.
No matter how well you write you can never capture the sublime experience of trying a great beer, nor change the perceptions of someone who has only ever tried the one style of beer. To try and explain a saison or an IPA or a Belgian tripel to someone who has only ever tried pale lagers is like trying to explain red, green and blue to someone who only sees black and white.
To teach people about beer, its flavours, its ingredients and its rich history, Ian Watson and I conduct the Good Beer Lunches, hosting regular beer and food matching events around Brisbane, as well as private and corporate events around Australia.
