Since being founded by Adam Henderson in 2020, Azvex Brewing Company has gone on to become of the UK’s most respected producers of hop-forward pale ales and IPAs, fruited sours, and imperial stouts.

And head brewer Jack Walker has played a huge part in that journey.

Known and respected across the land, Jack has helped create a wealth of fantastic beers at the Liverpool-based business. And for that reason, we invited him to speak at our Brewers Lectures in Manchester last month.

While he gave us an insight into the brewing process at Azvex during his talk in 2024, this time it was a little different.

In 2025 Jack has found himself in the final stages of a coeliac diagnosis and his lecture he outlines the challenges that has presented for a brewing professional while also outlining some of the misinformation and misunderstanding that surrounds the condition.
