Marcus Briggs is the kind of person who enjoys beer, but not in a refined, expert-taster sense. He’s not the type to pick out “notes of elderflower and sadness.” He just enjoys a good beer, and started writing about it after a friend suggested it, and one thing led to another. Originally from the North West, he grew up on Boddingtons and John Smiths, thinking that was as good as beer got. That changed about six years ago when someone handed him a can of Beavertown Gamma Ray. Since then, Marcus Briggs has been on a slow and often expensive journey through the world of craft beer. He’s also tried his hand at homebrewing, with mixed results: some batches have been excellent, others borderline hazardous. This is where he documents tasting notes, homebrew experiments, and visits to breweries.
