Speaker: Jeff Alworth

Jeff Alworth.

Jeff Alworth will be coming to the festival to do a talk he’s titled “The Norwegian Farmhouse Tradition is a Lot More Than Kveik Yeast”. It’s about how the Norwegian brewing tradition looks to a foreign beer expert.

Jeff is well placed to give that talk, as he’s the author of The Beer Bible , one of the most important introductory books about beer. The second edition also covers traditional brewing, and in May Jeff was in Voss where he saw the traditional brewing up close. Jeff has published 5 books on beer, and is the author of the highly regarded blog Beervana . So he knows what he’s talking about.
