About Me

Beermarketeer: Worked in beer marketing for over 30 years. Firstly for Morland Brewery in Abingdon, Oxon, working on Old Speckled Hen from its initial launch on draught and Morland Original Bitter. I then moved to St Austell Brewery and worked on Tribute, Proper Job and Korev. Tribute in particular is a brand I have special memories of as without its success, St Austell may well have become a pub company and closed its brewery. I am now retired from my marketing career but my interest in beer continues. I enjoy researching old breweries and beer brands, then telling their story. I am also a collector on breweriana, in particular ashtrays.
