What advice would you give to someone who wants to get into beer writing?

Jeff Evans (Freelance beer Writer) gives expert video advice on: What is a beer writer?; What do you write about?; What is a beer taster? and more...

The first thing I would say is it's a very enjoyable profession. The beer and brewing world is a very sociable one, so it's much more fun writing about beer than it is about nuts and bolts, medical supplies or car engines, unless you've got an interest in those particular subjects. If you've got a real enthusiasm for beer, that's a good start. That'll help you along the way. But of course, you're a journalist first and foremost, so you'll need to have good writing skills, a good sense of grammar, good commitment to the work, and the ability to work to deadlines.
