In Memory of Ant Hayes

by

Ant Hayes, 1970 – 2011
The BJCP is stunned and saddened to hear of the untimely death of Antony (Ant) Hayes of Kent, UK. Ant was instrumental in organizing the initial BJCP exams in both South Africa and the UK. He achieved a National-level score on his first attempt, and has since been an ambassador for the BJCP to judging and beer organizations in Europe. He gave excellent presentations on traditional English beer styles at two AHA NHC conferences, and helped us better understand the London brown ale style at the BJCP judge reception at the NHC in Cincinnati.

We remember Ant as a wonderful brewer, judge, and friend, someone who wanted to bring the methods of the BJCP to new places, and to bring better knowledge of world beer styles back to us. While his work was incomplete, his memory provides an inspiration for us to reach harder towards these goals. Cheers to you, mate, we’ll miss you.

Please lift a toast to Ant, and consider brewing a proper English session beer in his honor. His widow has specified a charity if you wish to make a donation.
