Beer and its new-age craft varieties – sours, IPAs, etc – are ubiquitous in bars and restaurants around the world, and the available flavours are changing and expanding quicker than most of us can get a handle on them. For these reasons, we’ve been meaning to properly explore the category on the podcast – with someone with the right expertise – since we began. Enter Josh, whose curiosity and passion for what makes the perfect pint is unrivalled.

Stay tuned for how beer has changed – from light lagers to IPAs that taste “like blended pine needles” – why the opportunities for the craft beer industry lies in service, how to pour the perfect beer, why foam is important and more.
