Paul Davies
Beer Sommelier | Cicerone

I am an accredited Beer Sommelier, certified Cicerone® and international beer judge, and have been conducting beer tours, tutored tastings, and sensory training for many years.  Over the years I have amassed a huge amount of knowledge of London’s pubs, craft breweries and taprooms, and built up a network of contacts with some of the key people involved in the city’s vibrant beer culture. I have also amassed an intensive knowledge of the best breweries and beer festivals in Belgium. I visit the country frequently, developing contacts within the industry to ensure that my guests enjoy the best Belgium beer experiences possible.   In a previous life, I was a member of the Quality team at Fuller’s, London’s oldest brewery. I also delivered brewery tours at its Griffin Brewery in Chiswick, welcoming visitors from the UK and overseas. I have hosted tutored beer tastings for many years and have a thorough knowledge of beer – from grain to glass.  I look forward to sharing my knowledge, enthusiasm, and experience with you.
