THE BEER ACADEMY
Dr. George Philliskirk gave a polished presentation on The Beer Academy at the Club meeting of 23 September. He was the first Chief Executive of this educational body following its formation in 2003.

George emphasised the need to improve the image of beer and to inform people about the 140 styles of beer available across the world. The Academy runs a number of training courses covering a range of topics, including beer tasting and judging and the matching of beer and food and, to date, 10,000 delegates have attended its courses. Its latest initiative, supported wordwide, is the appointment of beer
