Pellicle Information

We’re a magazine and podcast devoted to exploring beer, wine, cider, food and travel and the joy we find within these cultures. Established in 2019 by writer Matthew Curtis, and brewer Jonny Hamilton, Pellicle is a website, podcast and (in time) a print magazine that aims to capture the joie de vivre we so often find within our favourite cultures. This might be at a favourite bar or restaurant, adjacent to a steaming brewhouse, or within an orchard or vineyard. At Pellicle, we hope to take you there with us. In 2021 we expanded our team, and were delighted to welcome Katie Mather and Lily Waite as associate editors. Our collective ethos is about celebrating what makes modern drinks culture so vital, through insightful journalism alongside beautiful illustration and photography. To us, the worlds of beer, wine, and cider are as similar as they are different. Our aim is to bring people into these cultures by sharing our enthusiasm for them, all while hopefully bringing these worlds closer together in the process. All of our contributors are paid for their work. We’re able to do this thanks to our amazing Patreon subscribers and our sponsor, Loughran Brewers Select.
