Monica has many loves – dancing with her young daughter, her brewer husband, vegetarian cooking, vintage and second-hand, board games, and Shakespeare. Her love of nature and the outdoors comes from her mother’s own love of horticulture. And then, there is the love of beer!
Monica is a graduate of the University of Padua, Italy, with a degree in Science and Culture of Gastronomy and Catering. A certified Beer Sommelier, awarded the diploma from the Doemens Academy, Germany, her career has spanned marketing, teaching and communication; and she collaborates with the Italian Brewing Research Centre (CERB - Centro di Eccellenza per la Ricerca sulla Birra) established by the University of Perugia. Monica is a huge fan of Italian craft beer, as evident on her Instagram and blog #TheItalianCraftBeer.
Monica Simionato is AEB’s Communication Lead for Beer, Next Beverages, and Enzymes. She is responsible for the distribution of marketing content across all media types, and organising AEB’s participation at trade events where, as she puts it perfectly: “We can talk about beer, over a glass of beer.”
Say cheers to Monica!
