About the Author

Nick Moyle is a graphic designer by day and a writer by night, specializing in drinks (particularly those that contain alcohol). Although he lives in the cider county of Somerset, UK, he also flexes his tastebuds on beers, whiskies, gins and more. Some of these he makes himself from home-grown and foraged ingredients, but he is more likely to be found down the pub sampling the efforts of professional drink makers.
