Marverine Cole is a born and bred Brummie and she’s something of an A-lister when it comes to Food and Drink because she was Birmingham’s very first ever qualified Beer Sommelier. As a celebrated beer writer & critic, Marverine has appeared as an Expert Guest on countless top TV shows alongside celebrity chefs like Angela Hartnett and Simon Rimmer, as well as TV Presenters Oz Clarke, Holly Willoughby, Alan Titchmarsh, Phillip Schofield and Gabby Logan extolling the virtues of Britain’s national drink.

Not content with talking about beer on TV, Marverine’s helped well over 500 women learn to love beer at one of her many, exclusive beer and food matching events!

Away from beer, Marverine is an award-winning Television News Journalist and Presenter in her own right: she’s a former Newsreader for the BBC Midlands Today and ITV Central News, and international news channels Arise News and Sky News in London.
