Really pleased to see this one out in the wild. Beer and temperature for The Telegraph.
telegraph.co.uk
The temperature of beer affects its flavour in more ways than one – try these brews to see how
Cold isn’t always best – a subtle tweak to the temperature of your favourite ale can draw out its bitterness, sweetness or umami oomph

Super-honoured to attend a meeting with US Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, at the US Embassy to discuss US agricultural exports. US beer first arrived here in 1990s, and now the UK is the #3 export market globally and #1 in Europe for US craft beer! 💪👏🇺🇸🍺

RIP Jimmy Carter. He held a special place in US brewing history by legalising home-brewing in 1979. A key reason for the US craft brewing revolution

Barr Watson has been appointed new President/CEO of the Brewers Association, taking over from Bob Pease. He was the chief economist & VP of strategy at the BA and is a hugely respected figure in the US craft beer world! Congrats Bart! 👏👏👏

In Sweden the retail govt monopoly for alcohol forbids any link between alcohol and sport so this little dude on the label of AleSmith .394 has to be removed! Beer is so-named after baseball legend, Tony Gwynn’s career high batting average! (This can’s from Beer Merchants, btw!)

Love our little SW London #BottlesShare that’s been going for 8+years now! A fantastic bunch of beery pals and always a superb range of beers from all over the world! Highlights were a lambic cider & a 15%Bourbon Barrel-Aged Barley Wine! 😋🤤 💪 🔥 Thanks to Brewery Market for hosting! 🥰💛
