Beers around the world

Introducing the Wide World of Beers

 (Course No S0702F fee £25)

Saturday 15 March 2008    10.00 - 13.30*
 

 Beer has been brewed for over 6000 years and different parts of the world have developed their own styles influenced by locally available materials.  Join us on a world tour to discover how beer is enjoyed in different countries, tasting up to 15 samples from around the globe.

If you've attended one of our previous courses on this theme, you'll be pleased to know that our beer itinerary includes a different set of locations each time, so there's every reason to come along again and explore a whole new range of tastes!

The story of beer is the story of the spread of civilisation itself.  We shall look at the major brewing areas of the globe and the history of brewing in each one, finding out how the techniques evolved to produce such diverse tastes and how wars, science, fashion, politics and taxation have affected what is brewed. 

You will have the opportunity to taste up to 15 beers, representative of their regions.  This will give you the opportunity to expand your tasting horizons and be aware of your own preferences among widely differing styles of beer.  You will also find out about sources in the UK for obtaining a wide variety of foreign beers.

Suitable for anyone who is legally and medically allowed to drink alcohol, has perhaps tried wine tasting, or been on previous beer courses, is looking for a different experience and has a curiosity about other cultures of the world.
