Speaker:

Ken Duncan has been brewing for the last thirty-five years in various countries around the world with the aim of welcoming people to the Wonderful World of Beer. Over this time, he has experimented with all sorts of styles, malts yeasts, fermentation and maturation methods to produce complex and characterful yet satisfying beers which can benefit from barrel-ageing.
