Welcome to we are beer people, a podcast all about the many different people who help us enjoy beer.

As the palpable promise of Christmas builds, many of us will be drawn towards our favourite pubs, bars, taprooms and bottleshops to drink our favourite beers with our favourite people. And curiosity probably got us there, but what was it that sparked that in us?

 Today's guest is Matt Curtis, a journalist, author, photographer, and founder and editor of the magazine, pellicle. It's fair to say that Matt has a curiosity about beer, its history and the people that make it possible. A curiosity that we can all benefit from. And it's from people like Matt that we can learn and discover more about the culture and context around beer.

Matt's just written a book called Manchester's Best Beer Pubs and Bars and we hear all about how he made sense of Manchester after moving to the area by running from pub to bar to brewery and taproom joining the dots of the beer world and helping chart his surroundings.

 So grab yourself a seasonally appropriate drink and join us as we head into the pub.
