“There’s a real need for standardized education, training palettes, and also helping people to promote beer in the most civilized way, which is to enjoy it at the table and have it with a meal and understand that beer is food.”

“Having a basic understanding of all beer styles is a really good starting point, but I don’t think any brewer should be locked in.” — Lucy Saunders on Beer Sessions Radio
