| Zak, AKA The Beer Boy, is a prolific commentator on the UK beer scene, with a regular column in trade newspaper Off Licence News and of course his own site,
thebeerboy.co.uk. In 2008 Zak was named as Beer Writer of the Year by the British Guild of Beer Writers (a title held
previously by such luminaries as our own Roger Protz and Michael Jackson amongst others).
Zak's unorthodox career has seen him work as a textile printer for a high end UK fashion designer, a chef in a Good Food Guide listed restaurant (from kitchen porter to sous chef
in one year) and a sculptors assistant. Currently he also finds time to manage BeerRitz, the award-winning off-licence in Leeds, where we presume sampling and roadtesting is an
essential part of the job. |
