Twenty quid will buy the novice beer drinker in your life Master Brewer’s Alex Barlow’s ALL Beer Experience pack.

Complete with a glass specially designed to enhance and capture all those flavours, there’s a handy spiral-bound book – winner of the World’s Best Beer Book gong in the 2010 Gourmand Awards.

The pack also includes five different malt packets and a unique hop aroma card – somehow Alex has managed to micro-encapsulate the essential oils from three well-known but distinctively different hops. 

This all links in with Alex’s lively, comprehensive website, www.allbeer.co.uk
