I drink beer and I know things…mostly about beer.
Known as “the loose cannon of craft beer”.
From “Italian in London” to “Londoner in Alicante”.
I’ve been told twice already that I speak Spanish with an English accent. Which is weird cause I don’t even speak English with an English accent.

England, Spain…no matter where you are, if you’re in a craft beer bar you’ll always find someone a bit confused asked for “a normal beer”

Have struggled to find low abv beers in Alicante in the past couple of months. And now I walk into Bubbles to find this absolute smashing 3.6% Micro Neipa by Oso. And all my dreams came through. Let’s see the dent I’m going to put in this barrel 😎😁

A long, long time ago, after I graduated uni I found myself jobless, a bit lost and in desperate need of a direction. Shockingly, it turned out there weren't many jobs out there for a Political Science graduate in Journalism. For what it's worth, there weren't many jobs washing dishes either. Somehow though I met a guy that had a videomaking service.

I’m in a Work Cafe, surrounded by people working at their laptop.
I’m writing a blog post, and doing that thing of silently pronouncing every single word I’m writing, because my ADHD brain can’t help it. How weird is that

After spending 4 weeks in Spain, I can comfortably say Sabro is a worldwide hated hop.
As it bloody hell should be.

I grew up in a small town in South Italy. There’s a pub I love that made me discover craft beer 20 years ago. They just posted an ad offering a job ONLY to females.

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

If all that keeps you from trying is the fear to lose, then you’ve already lost

Turns out, for as much as I’m usually very good at it, it’s really hard to be miserable in the sun.

Hello!
I guess follow me for beer appreciation and rants posts, and a silly amount of selfies in the sun.
