2008 Beer Diva

 

Kirrily Waldhorn, aka Beer Diva, is a girl who really knows beer. She believes passionately that beer truly deserves its place back on the dining table; that beer is not just for blokes and that more people should know about the exceptional quality and range of great beers available in Australia. She brings a unique (and female) perspective to the beer world. Her beer career began 9 years ago at Lion Nathan and it was here that her passion for the brew was first ignited.

Whilst at LNA, Kirrily immersed herself in beer education, through a combination of hands on experience and study, completing a number of sensory certificate courses and the Brewing and Malting course at Ballarat University. She has always had an enormous passion for the category and industry.

Today, Kirrily as The Beer Diva is dedicated to bringing great beers to modern dining through private, corporate and public events. She also facilitates beer tastings, provides staff training and works with chefs who share in her passion! All combine good times and great fun with beer sophistication designed to heighten the enjoyment of this wonderful beverage and awaken a thirst for more!
