Award-winning beer writer Jeff Evans is the brains behind a new website dedicated to the wonderful world of beer.

Inside Beer (http://www.insidebeer.com) is aimed at beer lovers all around the world, with its mix of breaking news, essential facts and topical features.

Regular items recommending the best places to drink, classic beers and new releases are joined by insights into breweries (big and small), book reviews and a retro section, exploring events that have shaped the brewing world in years gone by. Invaluable information, such as listings of excellent beer shops around the world, a calendar of festivals and events, and major awards results, adds another dimension to the innovative site.

Jeff, an eight-times editor of the Good Beer Guide and a former UK Beer Writer of the Year, is confident that Inside Beer will prove to be a valuable addition to the online beer community for both consumers and those involved in the trade.

“I’m very excited about Inside Beer,” he said. “It allows me to continue the work I’ve been doing for more than 20 years, which involves highlighting the very best beers and showcasing the people behind the world’s most interesting breweries. I hope I can bring a degree of authority and experience to the web community, to complement the zeal and enthusiasm drinkers all over the world put into existing beer websites.”

“There are big plans for Inside Beer and what you currently see online is but the first stage of our development. As the beer world becomes ever more diverse and fascinating, so I hope Inside Beer will reflect this and become increasingly influential.”
