News

Beer Academy Sommelier blogs his way into the BBC!
Beer Academy Sommelier Nigel Sadler has been commissioned to write a regular beer blog for the BBC Food website. Using examples, the first posting outlines the basics of beer and food matching; how beers can complement, contrast or cut through the foods that they partner. But Nigel stresses that there are no hard and fast rules and the most important thing is to have fun experimenting. The full article can be read at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/food/2012/01/how-to-pair-food-and-beer---pa.shtml

Nigel said "The BBC approached me to write for them after hearing that I had become a Beer Academy Sommelier. It's a wonderful opportunity to open the eyes of Britain 's gastronomes to the limitless potential for matching food to beer. All too often, the British media overlooks beer. It's good to see that the Beeb is taking a lead in putting this right".
