Australia's most popular monthly beer appreciation night, Ale Stars brings together beer lovers, quality beers, delicious bar food, guest speakers and prizes in what must be one of the most entertaining ways to learn about everyone's favourite drink. With a theme for each evening: sometimes a style of beer, sometimes a brewery showcase featuring the brewing team from that brewery ' Ale Stars often serves up beer never before seen on tap 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=46609).
