Luke Robertson

Luke Robertson After studying written journalism in NZ and doing nothing at all with it, Luke moved to Melbourne and after a few years decided to study social media part time. Part of his course requirement was to start a blog and at the time he considered himself to be an expert on beer. It didn't take too long to realise he wasn't much of an expert, but pretty soon became obsessed. Now anyone who knows him knows he can barely contain himself when the topic of beer comes up. These days Luke plan holidays and weekends around visiting bars, breweries and homebrewing and is lucky to have a girlfriend who loves beer just as much as he does. If you have the time, Luke has opinions and he's dying to share them with you. Oh and he also likes music and stuff.
