Beatrix Swanson

Beatrix Swanson is a cider writer and judge based in Cornwall in the far southwest of England. A member of the British Guild of Beer Writers, she came to cider through a background in whisky. She now writes regularly for Cider Review, the leading platform for long-form cider writing. Raised in Germany’s Apfelwein country and of American, Spanish, and Swedish heritage, Beatrix brings a deep appreciation for the global diversity of cider cultures. She has judged cider and perry competitions across the UK, Europe, and the US, and she is happiest when traveling the world in search of remarkable drinks.
