“It's good to have a range of both [bottles and cans] though, because people do have personal preferences; some people will always prefer to have a bottle while younger craft beer drinkers increasingly expect it to be in a can.”

I’m in Nuremberg for the European Beer Star competition representing @sibanational.
An amazing quality of judging and a great international competition. No photos in the judging room so here’s a selfie instead

I’m doing a ‘Masterclass’ at the upcoming @morningad Great British Pub Awards, tasting through what I think are three of the UK’s most bang-on style IPAs. (@WimbledonBrew English IPA, @VerdantBrew NEIPA, @ElusiveBrew WC IPA)
What other beers do you think would’ve fit the bill? – at South East, England
