Currently a freelance journalist and independent retailer (but has been many other things; a chef, a recording artist and a sculptor’s assistant, to name the more interesting ones), Zak is an enthusiast of all global styles of beer, of enjoying it with food, and of talking about it. He shares his enthusiasm via his website www.thebeerboy.co.uk — which is also his springboard for organising beer tasting events. A regular columnist for Off Licence News, Zak has also written for various other publications, both extant and deceased. BGBW Beer Writer of the Year 2008.
