Andy was born in London just in time to see England win the World Cup, and much later began his career in academia, gaining a PhD in American Literature and lecturing at several universities, including Maryland and Gothenburg in Sweden, and pursuing a sideline in sheep-farming before moving back to London and becoming a literary agent and TV documentary-maker (working for various broadcasters and making series such as the BBC’s Monsoon Railway, set in Bengal). He has written several biographies, including the Second World War story American Pimpernel, and became the official biographer of India’s Prime Minister (then Chief Minister of Gujarat) publishing Narendra Modi, a Political Biography (Harper Collins). Andy joined Asian Media Group in 2018, his first “proper” job, and has been there ever since, believing that, while trade journalism might not save the world, it might just save journalism.

Following its success in 2024, alcohol-free pioneer Nirvana Brewery has brought back its Chocolate Milk Stout (0.5% ABV) in time for the advent of winter.

Flavoured with dark chocolate and vanilla, head brewer James Rabagliati has again produced what he describes as a "decadent" stout with an "indulgent" richness.

Together with dark roasted malt, the combination of chocolate and vanilla helps create a rich, creamy and luxurious beer that has notes of toffee, caramel and lightly roasted coffee – ideal for the winter months and festive season. It pours with a thick, creamy head.

Available in 330ml cans, the seasonal special joins Nirvana’s seven core brews, including its existing stout.
