From pints to pubs, via monks and the Middle East - plus tastings!

Discover the history of beer, from maltings to exploding breweries, to the rise of the pub to the making of a pint.

Led by expert Pete Brown, British Beer Writer of the Year four times over, this interactive event brings the history of the world's favourite booze to life. Featuring accompanying tastings, carefully chosen by the Industry Legend and the team over at Yalm.

You'll be introduced to thousands of years of brewing history, with a new perspective shown through the bottom of a (pint) glass, and learn fascinating facts perfect for sharing at your next trip to the pub.

Cheers!
