Marc Bishop
A lifetime spent working in the marketing of beer and pubs for two major Regional Brewers led Marc to realise a passion for beer. He began life working for Morland of Abingdon, now long gone of course; they created the famous Old Speckled Hen, a beer for which Marc has fond memories. Marc is equally proud to work for one of the South West's much loved and respected Brewers in St Austell Brewery and also have been a part of another huge success story in Tribute. As part of his role for both companies is the weekly Taste Panel, so Marc has plenty of practical experience in describing beer and identifying off flavours. He has also undertaken regular tutored tastings at Food & Drink Festivals and can be seen at various Beer Festivals in the South West promoting and enthusing about the St Austell brands.
Marc also has his own website craftbottlebeers.co.uk where he reviews different beers, blobs occasionally and also gives details of event he is attending.
