Meet Pete -

Mr Amber Ales.

Tired of bland, corporate beers designed for the masses Pete is on a mission to brew the perfect pint. A passionate devotee of the hop and grain, combined with a degree in Chemical Engineering he is at his happiest experimenting in the brewery kitchen at Amber Ales.

Band: The Ramones; Underworld (now listens to: Radio Four!)
Current Book:Tricky... Tim Moore, Do Not Pass Go (a Monopoly trip round London); Why Does E-MC2 and why should we care? (Brian Cox) and Beer Advocate Magazine (www.beeradvocate.com) - still fab!
Beer: Imperial IPA of course, although Hop Devil runs it a close second; Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA, better than the 90 IMHO. But better on draft (sic) too...
Often heard saying: 'drink beer, be happy'.

Meet Jayn - the wife.

With a background in beer drinking and illustrious career in marketing, she tries to keep us on the straight and narrow whilst secretly planning her own range of botanical ales.

Best ever gig: The Clash at The Assembly Rooms
