Speaker Bio's
Alex was brought up in Chester, North West England and in Zambia, Africa. His passion for beer started with his first job, as cellar-man at his local pub. With over 25 years experience, he’s a qualified Master Brewer, International Beer Judge, Beer Sommelier and author of the ALL BEER Guide, winner of four International awards including ‘Worlds Best Beer Book’
Alex’s mission is to change people’s perceptions about beer, to get more people, especially women, drinking a wider range of beers on more occasions. He believes beer’s superior spectrum of flavours make it the ideal partner for food, yet beer is rarely matched with food in its natural home – the pub, let alone for fine dining. He wants to change that.
Stephen Beaumont has the job everyone wants, travelling the globe in search of the next great beer, spirit or cocktail. When he does set his feet in one place for a while, he can usually be found writing about his tasting adventures in books or magazine articles, blogging them on the web at worldofbeer.com, or talking at tutored tastings, drinks festivals and beer- or spirits-themed dinners.
Stephen is the author of six books, including The beerbistro Cookbook, which he co-wrote with Chef Brian Morin. His next project is The World Atlas of Beer, which he is co-authoring with British writer Tim Webb, scheduled for publication in 2012.
Beau's will be making a donation to the MS Society of Canada on behalf of Stephen Beaumont in lieu of a speaking fee for his appearance.
