Lucky lad, 25, lands his dream job as a beer taster… becoming Britain’s youngest ale expert
Asda signed up Hywel Evans after he finished a chemistry master’s degree because of the demand for craft beer
LUCKY Hywel Evans landed every student’s dream job when he graduated — drinking beer for a living.
Hywel, 25, tastes hundreds from around the world every month as Britain’s youngest ale expert.
Asda signed him up after he finished a chemistry master’s degree because of the demand for craft beer.
Part of his course involved a six-month research placement in California sampling American craft beers.
Ale and Craft Beer Buyer Hywel, who still enjoys going out for a drink at night, said: “It’s a dream job.
“Craft beer is booming and I feel lucky to be at the heart of the action.
“I have the pleasure of tasting some of the world’s finest beers. My friends are green with envy!”
Leeds-based Hywel, who graduated from Southampton University, added: “The skills I gained in my degree can easily be applied to my job, as brewing beer is all about experimenting with ingredients and flavours.”

Hywel, from Swansea, added: “Friends send pictures of beer they’ve had telling me to get it in the Asda range.
“I can’t keep up with the recommendations!”
