Description
Frustrated by a dead end job, fed up with renting in London and the loathsome daily commute and, to cap it all, failing to make it as a stand-up comedian, Tommy Barnes was at breaking point.
But he didn't break - instead he made himself redundant and took off to France with girlfriend Rose to pursue his dream of brewing beer.

Tommy Barnes grew up in Hertfordshire. He worked as a graphic designer in London for 15 years and performed as a stand up comedian in his spare time. Happily made redundant, he set off to France with girlfriend Rose. There they started a microbrewery, Braslou Biere.
