This week Australian Brews News Editor James Atkinson reports from the Craft Brewers Conference in the United States.

James caught up with beer heavyweights Randy Mosher and Ray Daniels.  Both Mosher and Daniels reflect on the state of beer and the industry, and weigh in on what we might expect in the near future from the craft beer industry.

Randy Mosher:

A master of brewing science, Randy Mosher applies his restless curiosity and creative energy toward the art of brewing. As a veteran and award-winning brewer, Randy knows the rules of brewing and when to break them.

He is the author of such works as The Brewers Companion, Tasting Beer and Beer For All Seasons, and is a frequent lecturer on beer across the world.

Ray Daniels:

Ray Daniels is the founder and director of the Cicerone Certification Program—the standard for beer sommeliers—and a member of the Senior Faculty of the Siebel Institute of Technology, America’s oldest brewing school. Ray has worked on more than two dozen books on beer and brewing, becoming a certified as a beer judge in 1992 and has since accumulated thousands of beers worth of judging experience.
