Craft: An Argument: with Pete Brown

The craft beer boom is the biggest thing to hit brewing and drinking for more than a generation. What started off as a small band of idealistic hobby brewers is now a multi-billion-dollar global industry, but even its most passionate fans can’t actually agree what ‘craft beer’ is. Join this pub-stool session from award-winning beer writer Pete Brown, where he will dig into this decades-long argument and deliberate whether it’s possible to pin down ‘craft’ to a measurable definition. Get a snapshot of what you can expect from Pete’s latest book, Craft: An Argument, which provides a new perspective on the biggest trend in global food and drink, as well as making you long for a beer.

I'm rereading some of your books, Peter, like Three Sheets and Hops and Glory, and this pandemic is really deadly for the hospitality industry. I can see that it must be really rough for you, as it is for many. I just want you to know that there are many of us who continue to enjoy and learn from your stuff, no matter how long it may be before things become somewhat 'normal'.
