Thrilled to have been invited to be on the judging panel at the International Beer Challenge (International Beer Challenge (IBC)) on Wednesday! Krishan (Krishan) and Tim (SorachiTim ) spent a glorious day at The Oval, evaluating 18 flights of diverse beer between them...

Joining many esteemed peers from across the beer industry, it was honour to be surrounded by so many brilliant beer minds – a mix of familiar faces and new connections – was genuinely a privilege. Pushing us to test our palates and sharpen our analytical skills...

Learning from seasoned professionals in that environment is always incredibly insightful. A big thanks to Jeff Evans & IBC team for a well organised day and all the judges for making it a fantastic experience. #IBC2025🍻
