What\\u2019s new is old and what\\u2019s old is precious in a small corner of southern England, where writer and journalist Jacopo Mazzeo takes us on a tour of the wild and sprawling New Forest National Park. In his latest piece for Good Beer Hunting titled \\u201cCuriouser and Curiouser \\u2014 In Search of Brewing Novelty In England\\u2019s Ancient New Forest,\\u201d which was published on October 13, 2022, he explores the ancient landscape with a local\\u2019s eye, sharing the natural beauty and growing beer scene through personal experience, community connection, and research into the nearly thousand-year history of the region.\\xa0

In today\\u2019s conversation with Jacopo, he shares how the COVID-19 pandemic forced him to look closer to home for travel inspiration, which led to fortuitous results. Growing up in Italy, the countryside wasn\\u2019t as accessible to him as it is in the United Kingdom, the country he\\u2019s made his home over the past 11 years. That\\u2019s why he treasures the nearby New Forest, a historical area he continues to be drawn to time and time again. He talks about that draw of nature, as well as why he keeps coming back to experience the growing craft beer scene first-hand.\\xa0

He\\u2019ll also share a few insider tidbits that didn\\u2019t quite make it into his final piece, as well as where he\\u2019s headed next as the world slowly continues to reopen. (I\\u2019ll just say his upcoming trips to Lebanon and the Seychelles sound deliciously libatious.) Let\\u2019s start our journey into this rustic wonderland, right now.
