Craft Beer Tasting - Events Calendar

Have you always wanted to know how your favourite brew is made? Or perhaps what other competition is out there yet to be tried. Get ready to discover the rainbow and try as many beers as you can (whilst still standing). 

In 2017 there is now such a wide range of flavours and styles available of craft beer that you will need a few months to learn which of those is to your taste. Whether its a sour gose or a light floral golden ale there is bound to be one out there for everyone. Beer tastings are brilliant for a fun day out or even better, make a weekend out of it and get away.  

Listed below are some of the main UK Beer Events in 2017 to put in your diary. And a key tip from me to you, tasting beer is just like tasting wine, but forget about spitting it out!
