Australia's most popular monthly beer appreciation night sees beer lovers indulge in themed tastings featuring the best beers from across the world. Sometimes featuring live link-ups with international brewers, almost always hosting a guest brewer in person and ' barring natural disaster or an act of God ' hosted by the man who can, Darren Robinson from Doctor's Orders Brewing, it's a great way to explore the beer world and often try beer never before tapped in Australia. **The April 2013 edition** will be reaching across the world and beaming in (via Skype) respected UK author, journalist and beer historian Martyn Cornell. For the work done on his website, [Zythophile](http://zythophile.wordpress.com/author/zythophile/), Martyn was the recipient of the British Guild of Beer Writers award for best beer blogger in 2011. In 2012, he followed that up by winning an award for best Beer and Food Writer. He has written several books about the history of beer and is known for an ability to cut through some of the many myths which surround beer. So, come get cosy with the Ale Stars for this unique opportunity to hear Martyn share some of his formidable beer knowledge. Tickets are $40 which includes beer and food and can be booked [here](http://www.trybooking.com/Booking/BookingEventSummary.aspx?eid=44708).
