The beer(s) or moment(s) that turned you on to good beer:

Grandad's homebrew stout. Nice and roasty. I remember my dad having to decant it first. I'm not sure if my memory is good or bad but I can still taste how it smelled.

You've got three beers to turn someone else on to good beer; what are they and why?

• Fantôme - Blanche – Because it smells like grapefruit, weed and ginger. No other beer smells and tastes like it.
• Weihenstephaner - Hefe – It's always consistent (unlike Fantôme...) and never lets me down. Great price point too.
• Stomping Ground - Gipps St Pale – My favourite local American-style pale ale. Fresh, vibrant, bitter. Yum.

The last beer you enjoyed:

• La Sirène Saison

Three things that represent you:

• The Warriors (1979)
• Conspiracy theories
• Fermented food
