Simon Johnson is a beer journalist and marketing consultant who occasionally finds the time to go on over-long country walks or watch his beloved Nottingham Forest fail yet again to recapture the spirit of past glories. He occasionally seeks out beer that he’s never drank before and recounts his findings on his website, www.reluctantscooper.co.uk.

Rebecca Johnson is the designated driver and organisational genuis behind too many of Simon’s travels. When she’s not neck-deep in charity work, she loves to drink cider and make ever-more elaborate greetings cards. She is a life-long wheelchair user.
