That really is the saddest news possible. Over the years I’ve met Guy whenever we were in Amsterdam - beer was always a feature. We last met a couple of years back in In De Wildeman, Guy’s spiritual home, along with Roger Goodair, and I was also training up an apprentice - my lad Danny. After

I first met Guy over 50 years ago in Harrogate when we were both involved in the Young Liberals. I was about 16 and I don't actually know how old Guy was, he always seemed to be older and more worldly than me. Guy was living with Ruth on the outskirts of Leeds and I distinctly remember spending

Such sad news about Guy.  A true friend (because if you fell out with him it didn't last long). A man with a woolly hat. A man with an extensive knowledge of beer. A quality journalist. A fully paid up member of the MOALM. A man who guarded the onion bag for Scarborough. A man who came to
