Hello! I'm Hallsy98, a passionate brewer based in the UK. I blend my love for traditional brewing techniques with modern twists to create unique and memorable beers. With a background in biochemistry from the University of Leeds, I've been able to dive deep into the science of fermentation and flavor, working professionally in the brewing industry since 2015.
I'm an avid climber, often found scaling the rugged cliffs of the Peak District on weekends. Climbing not only challenges my physical limits but also offers a chance to disconnect and enjoy nature's beauty.
Skateboarding has been a hobby since my teenage years. It's a way to express myself creatively and meet people from all walks of life. I frequent local skate parks and occasionally volunteer to teach beginners the basics.
Travel is my avenue for inspiration. I've explored over 20 countries, with a particular fondness for the diverse cultures of Southeast Asia. Each journey fuels my creativity, influencing new brewing recipes.
When I'm not brewing or outdoors, I unwind with video games. I enjoy a variety of genres, but I'm particularly drawn to strategy games and RPGs, which allow me to explore intricate worlds and complex narratives.
I contribute to articles related to brewing techniques and the history of beer, sharing knowledge and ensuring information accuracy based on my professional experience and research.
