Welcome to we are beer people, a podcast all about the many different people who help us enjoy beer.
One of the things I love about beer and brewing is that it is of its time, of its place and of its people. We can look into a brewery – see why it brews certain beers, what was popular, who was making it, where the ingredients came from and how it was brewed - and it tells us so much about the time, the place and the people.
That’s why I’m really excited to speak with today’s guest, Ron Pattinson.
Ron’s a beer writer and a beer historian – well known for researching uncovering, deciphering and documenting historical beer styles and brewing practices.
That’s no mean feat, when you might have to navigate a brewery’s idiosyncratic archives take thousands of notes and photos and make sense of large amounts of data recorded and stored with variable consistency.
You might have heard of him from his website Shut Up About Barclay Perkins or his publications, which range from the homebrewers' guide to vintage beer to city and country guides around Europe.
So let’s head into the archives and have a chat with one of the beer people about the beer and its place in history.
