Additional information

There are two courses on beer: British Royalty and its ales and beers (Friday 2nd June): British royalty has always liked its beer right from the Plantagenet Kings paying their soldiers in ale. This training session will give you a chance to taste what sort of beer they would have drunk over the ages. A trip around the world in beer (Friday 7 July): Beer is the globe’s third favourite drink after water and tea. Although there are plenty of tastes in common, this session will show you why it’s the differences that make beer really interesting.
