In response to the sad news that St Austell Brewery brewing director, Roger Ryman, passed away peacefully this week, Steve Livens, Policy Manager – Product Assurance & Supply Chain, at the British Beer & Pub Association, said:
“Roger was a committed, inspirational and artful brewer. His passion, enthusiasm and knowledge was clear and he was dedicated to St. Austell and an industry who held him in such high regard. Roger was keen to pass on his incredible knowledge and experience wherever possible and to foster, support and encourage young people to take up a career in brewing. There will be many who will make their way through the industry with his insight and skill at the heart of their journey and there can be no greater legacy than this.”
