THE locally based Purity Brewing Companys director of brewing has been named ‘Brewer of the Year’ at the All-Party Parliamentary Beer Group Beer Awards.
Flo Vialan, who hails from Lyon, has been Head Brewer with Purity for nearly 11 years and has been recognised for his skills in and out of the brewhouse.
He headed up to Westminster’s One Great George Street this week to receive his award, in front of more than 200 attendees and 80 MPs.
Flo said: “I am incredibly proud and thankful to receive this award. It’s not often you get to combine your work with one of your hobbies and I feel privileged that I get to do this every day.
“I’d like to thank the whole team at Purity as I couldn’t do my job if it wasn’t for the rest of the guys doing theirs, it truly is a team effort.”
