So, what is all the fuss about beer at the moment? Why is there much more variety these days? Only a few years ago most shops were just stocking pale Lagers and traditional Bitters.

Well, in truth, not that much has changed in beer over the centuries. The way it’s made obviously moves forward with technological advancements; but what else has changed? The difference is a connected world and the distribution of knowledge.
