Hello there! You’d like to know a bit more about the person who’ll be guiding you through your beer tasting? I’m a dog mother, noodle eating, proud woman in beer!
What did I do before I opened The Dodo Micropub?
I spent over 14 years working in marketing. Mostly in publishing but also in the education sector. I always knew I wanted to be my own boss and when I went to a micropub for the first time I fell in love with the unpretentious, community focussed, boozy business model. I wanted to live my day to day working life with a bit more purpose and a bit less stress so The Dodo Micropub was born!
How did I get into beer?
Once upon a time I used to hate beer! I thought beer was Carling and never understood why people would drink it by choice! Then along came the “craft beer scene” and American hops! I was surprised beer could have so much flavour and so began my journey of beer discovery!
How many beers have I personally tasted?
Since setting up The Dodo in 2017 I have easily tried over 3,000 different beers!
Favourite beer?
I have a huge love for dark beers and I’m not so secret about my mission to convert as many people as possible to the dark (beer) side!
What else do I enjoy drinking?
Green tea, water, rum and a classic cocktail like a sidecar.
Favourite song to drink a beer too?
Go royal. A bit of Prince or Queen will go nicely.
