Max Descloux from the tiny brewery Brasserie Lance-Pierre<\/a> in Switzerland is doing an internship at renowned Brew By Numbers<\/a> (BBNo) in London. Over a few installments, he writes about how it is for a „homebrewer“ to be working in a professional and world-class brewery. This is part 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few months ago, I was looking for a professional experience in film production in London. But then a Jiminy Cricket put another idea in my head: Why not working in a brewery instead? I started to homebrew in Lausanne in 2012 and registered a brewery with two friends in 2014. Always torn between my two jobs, filmmaking and beers, I had a decision to make. Done. Let\u2019s brew in London!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But where? I sent a few awkward emails to London\u2019s breweries, trying to explain my not-so-clear-project to brew in the Capital, without result. A little bit desperate, I contacted friends that knew more brewers than me. That was pretty effective: Two days later, I had an interview with Dennis Ratliff, brewer at Brew By Numbers (BBNo) and a three months internship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
