Beer Birthday: Melissa Cole

October 25, 2022 By Jay Brooks

melissa-cole-bk
Today is the 47th birthday of Melissa Cole, UK beer writer extraordinaire. I’d met Melissa first online and then in person at the Rake in London several years ago. She’s also been coming over to our side of the pond to judge at both GABF and the World Beer Cup. She’s a great advocate for beer generally, but especially for women, and is great fun to hang out and drink with. She also writes online at Taking the Beard Out of Beer! which is subtitled “A Girl’s Guide To Beer.” Her first book, Let Me Tell You About Beer, was published a couple of years ago, which she followed up last year with The Beer Kitchen: The Art and Science of Cooking, & Pairing, with Beer. Join me in wishing Melissa a very happy birthday.

    Yay! I met Melissa at the Rake last summer when I was in the UK on business (my full time marketing job, not the brew shop). I had a blast, and she’s an awesome person.

    Hello, I just stumbled across this, very sweet honey, thanks so much! Apart from the Uni photo, for that I’m going to kick your butt!

    And thanks to you too Julie for your kind comments xx
