Who are you and what do you do? My name is Grant and I am a YouTube vlogger and I make videos about anything beer or homebrew related.
How did you get into this? I started watching people brewing on YouTube initially with Craigtube and other beer videos. I was amazed a whole community was out there and there was another side to homebrewing. I then discovered an old work friend was brewing, however, he was using the all-grain method and producing beer videos, something I never thought I would do.
My YouTube channel features videos ranging from how to videos, commercial beer reviews, book and equipment reviews. I continue to expand my brewing knowledge and equipment that I own each year as I’m a sucker for a gadget and shiny brew equipment. I regularly review the products I purchase as I like to spread the word to others and hopefully encourage other people into this fantastic hobby.
What is your favourite beer? I would have to say anything by The Kernel Brewery. I have not had a bad beer from them and I always get there beers when I can.
What do you think makes a great beer? Balance a beer that manages to allow all the ingredients to shine when tasting.
What is your favourite style of beer? This is a tricky one – it changes on a weekly basis but if I had just one, a good stout really hits the spot.
If you had to pick, which would be your top three beers in the whole world? Kernel Export Stout , Gales Seafarers Ale and Fullers London Pride.
What is the best part of beer reviewing ? It has to be the variety of beers that are now available to try it really is a great time for beer.
You are stuck on a desert island what three things are you taking with you? Hop seeds, barley and a pint glass.
Thanks to Grant for taking part. You can view all of the reviews Grant has done for our beers here.
