The Cambridge Beer Festival (organised by CAMRA) is one of the biggest dates on the beer calendar with over 40,000 people visiting during the week-long festival.

In 2019, I curated and chaired a series of events in the Discovery Pavilion. There were talks, tastings, discussions and debates on a range of topics including wild and mixed fermentation, sustainability, the contemporary cider scene and the future of British beer.

My guests included:

• Lily Waite from the Queer Brewing Project
• Miranda and Bates from Duration Brewery
• Sophie de Ronde from Burnt Mill
• Andy from Ampersand Brewery
• Simon from Simon’s Cider
• Colin Johnston from Crisp Malting, and
• Fergus Fitzgerald from Adnams.

The events were recorded and you can hear some of them on Fermentation Beer & Brewing Radio.
