How did you get into beer writing? What inspired you?<br />
I’ve been into beer for as long as I can remember. However,<br />
my first trip to the USA in 2010 turned fascination into<br />
something of an obsession. I started visiting as many<br />
breweries as I could, and tasting as many different beers as<br />
I could. It annoyed the hell out of my friends because all<br />
I wanted to talk about was beer. I’ve also always enjoyed<br />
writing, having done bits and bobs over the years, with a few<br />
blogs on various subjects, but nothing ever very good. Late in<br />
2011 my partner, Dianne, suggested I start a beer blog to try<br />
and vent some of my enthusiasm into something productive.<br />
So, I started my beer blog, Total Ales, in January 2012 and the<br />
rest is history.
