Sam Fletcher

Sam Fletcher Sam Fletcher is the winner of the Hop Products Australia Beer Writing Bursary, the first of its kind in Australia. He is a certified beer geek and uncertified home-brewer. He spends his days in an office being paid to sit on Facebook and Twitter, but is far happier with a tulip glass of Imperial Stout in one hand and a pen for scratching down review notes in the other. He has contributed over 1000 beer reviews to beeradvocate.com and has no intention of slowing. Sam's other great loves include medieval Icelandic literature, comparing Kurosawa's films to Herzog's, and above all his long-suffering wife with whom he resides in Sydney's inner west.
