On this week’s episode, we catch up with award winning beer writer, photographer and consultant Matthew Curtis to chat about beer trends and social media, exploring everything from packaging types, whether breweries should chase the hype of Hazy and Brut IPAs, and what kind of legacy beer business are leaving behind - if any.

Matthew appears regularly in publications such as Original Gravity Magazine and Ferment, writes reviews for Hop Burns & Black, and was the UK editor for Good Beer Hunting for a season, helping to host the Beavertown Extravaganza.
