EXTRAORDINAIRE.<br />

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.
