OK, I appear to be a little late with the news, my apologies, but St Austell Brewery has appointed a new Brewing Director following the sad death of the previous incumbent, the excellent brewer who brought us Proper Job and Tribute, Roger Ryman (blog).
Georgina Young has been their new Brewing Director since her appointment a month ago (website), and I thank them for the (slightly edited by me) image above. Georgina was a log-time friend to Roger, who had been delighted when she moved from her head brewer position at Fuller's to St Austell owned Bath Ales, as their head brewer in May 2019.
Georgina graduated with a MSc in Brewing and Distilling from the Edinburgh university Heriot Watt, before working at Smiles Brewery and running a pilot brewery at Camden BRI, then joining Fuller's as a production brewer in 1999; where she was promoted to head brewer in 2017. She is also a Master Brewer of the Institute of Brewing and Distilling.
My congratulations and best wishes go to Georgina and her career at St Austell and Bath Ales, may she carry on, if not improve upon, the great work started by Roger, cheers m'dear!
