Andy Hamilton travels the length of Britain in a quest to uncover new and unusual beers and to find that elusive perfect pint.
Andy Hamilton lives with his family on top of a hill that overlooks
Bristol. He runs brewing workshops at his local home-brew shop and
the occasional tasting session, too. He is also a member of the
British Guild of Beer Writers and CAMRA. He grows ingredients for
beer in his vertical hilltop garden and forages for ingredients for
various alcoholic drinks in and around the parks and waste grounds
of Bristol.
Andy is often called upon to contribute to various TV and radio
shows on subjects from survival and foraging to home-brewing and
gardening. Highlights include telling Radio 2's Simon Mayo how to
make the perfect elderflower champagne and nearly taking the
Autumnwatch cast's teeth out with his toffee apples.
He is the author of the award-winning and bestselling
foraging/home-brewing book Booze for Free, which has made him the
biggest-selling home-brew author in the UK for 2011-2012. He
regularly blogs about home-brewing, beer, foraging and gardening on
his website, www.theotherandyhamilton.com.
When not tasting new and wonderful beers in pubs and at festivals
around the country, Andy works as a trustee for Homestart Bristol,
a charity that offers support for struggling families in Bristol
and South Gloucestershire.
This book is a cracking good read for anyone interested in beer.
Andy Hamilton displays his expert knowlege of beer and brewing,
with a touch of earthy humour and witty banter, making this book
fun as well as informative.
