Beermat Doodles started in 2018 as the brainchild of Emily Catherine and Nottingham Craft Beer Week director, Jared Wilson. Wanting to inject some creativity, fun and a personal touch to the festival, he asked Emily if she had any ideas.

‘Why don’t we draw portraits of people on blank beermats?’, Emily said.

‘That’s an amazing idea, Em, if you don’t make that into a business, I will’, said Jared.

And Thus, Beermat Doodles was born.

Since it’s genesis in 2018, the team have doodled at Beer X, Nottingham Craft Beer Festival, Muntons Malt family day, Pauls Malt brand celebration, Robin Hood Beer Festival, Stephen Donald Eyewear Christmas Pop Up, numerous wonderful weddings, opening and launch events for pubs, bars and restaurants.
