It’s Thursday, It’s lunchtime, It’s Meet The Brewer. This week we have Pete Brissenden from Hopdaemon. Pete is a top guy and he makes some great beers and for a skinny lad from down south he can certainly handle his beer, although there was one point during the aftermath of Twissup where his brain did […]
