Matt (@totalcuris on Twitter and Instagram) joins me to talk about his brand new book, Modern British Beer.  The book covers Matt's thoughts on what he calls "The Broad Spectrum of Joy" and his definition of Modern British Beer before taking in chapters on 86 beers from 86 different breweries around Britain.

It's available now from CAMRA and all good Independent bookshops, bottle shops and craft breweries (especially those that are featured in the book).

Also discussed is the beer brewed especially with Burning Sky, named after the chapter "The Broad Spectrum of Joy". Available soon from the brewery's web shop.
