Perhaps you already saw this over at Beer Therapy, but Firestone Walker Brewing’s award-winning brewmaster, Matt Brynildson, was recently invited to brew at Marston’s Brewery in the United Kingdom. Brewers selected from Japan, Australia and Denmark will join Brynildson to bring their talents and recipes to the U.K. for the JD Wetherspoon International Beer Festival.

What you probably didn’t know is that I’m joining Matt on his trip to Marston’s. We leave this afternoon and will arrive in London Monday morning way freaking early. Assuming I can find a WiFi signal, look for posts from across the pond later this week.
