Reduction in beer duty to make great craft more accessible, and for our great independent breweries and bars to thrive. I also want the large brewcos and congloms to stop pretending they can do craft just by buying some of our great brands.

What will be 2020’s beer trend?
GASP as Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor takes on an ambassadorial role at Cloudwater. SHRIEK when Hillary Clinton reveals all about the time she drained an entire keg of Five Points Pale whilst standing on her head. And COLLAPSE IN ASTONISHMENT when Northern Monk cement their Mancunian credentials by inking a product placement deal with Coronation Street, that will spiral quickly from Kev and Tyrone enjoying a civilised tasting of the latest Patrons offering to Chesney sucking nine pints of Heathen off the tap and reducing the Rovers to rubble.

The immediate reinstatement of His Royal Highness, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, to public life, along with an eight-figure lump sum to be paid to him from the public purse as compensation for acute emotional distress. (Ed: Oh, Patrick…)
The return of the noble Flensburger Tower to COMMON in time for the opening game of Scotland’s Euro 2020 campaign on June. Looking forward to repeating last year’s party trick of sinking a full one in one go, and then noisily defecating into the empty vessel. YES this is a confession – it was I!

I attended the Sheffield Beer Festival at Kelham Island. It had a huge selection of beers. Most of the beer was pretty average but there was an opportunity to watch a heritage steam engine being operated. A group of Spanish students couldn’t finish their beef jerky because it was too spicy and they were kind enough to give the rest to me and my friends. It was that spicy it was like an outer body experience. Tremendous fun.
Got a Brewery tour booked at Cloudwater. Very excited.
