Brewer Q & A: Ava Nakagawa, Beer Baroness

The days are getting hotter, the sea is finally warming up and all signs are pointing to beer. But what to drink? For a bit of inspiration, we asked Ava Nakagawa, AKA the Beer Baroness, to tell us about her favourite summer brews.


 

What are you most looking forward to about summer?
Having the whole summer off with my boys.

What style/styles do you see yourself drinking a lot of this summer?
I’ll be sneaking sips of whatever my husband is drinking due to the new baby thing, but what I’ll be recommending he drink is anything and everything new. I am a seasonal drinker so lighter, brighter and lower in alcohol (well, for me anyway!).

It’s the hottest day of the year and you’ve just mown the lawns. What beer would you most hope is in your fridge?
Liberty Citra Jnr or Garage Project White Mischief.
