Beer Voyage came together the way every good idea should - over a couple of beers at the pub. Dreamt up as a way to legitimise our beer expenditure and travel procrastinating, our mission is to review and recommend all things beer and travel related; bars we have drank in, cities we've visited or simply beers we've picked up along the way. Our aim is to seek out the best beer-based shenanigans around the world and give our take on them. And if we get to sink a few beers along the way, we can't really complain can we?
We are by no means experts or in anyway qualified on the subject matter; we just really bloody love beer and travelling. Which probably makes us as qualified as most other beer blogs.

Originally from the heart of cider country, Somerset, it took me a while to discover my love of beer. I drank rubbish cider and cheap lager until my early twenties. After slowly being introduced to ale at local beer festivals by my Dad (thanks Dad!), I became a beer convert and there's been no turning back ever since. I probably have him to blame for my love of all things dark and strong.
My other passion is travelling, so combining this with my love of beer has led to many, many beer focussed trips and, inevitably, the creation of this site.
Favourite breweries: Cloudwater, Verdant, Other Half

My progression into the world of grain based beverages has gone from chain pub lager, twiggy real ale (who’s afraid of the dark?) to FOMO craft beer tinnies. I am an occasional amateur brewer who likes experimenting in the kitchen.
The idea for this blog was born of a love of beer and travel. This has led to many an organised beer voyage which has provided us with some great experiences over the years that we are documenting on this blog.
