In Praise of Local Beer
Award-winning beer writer and author Adrian Tierney-Jones talks and tastes his way through a selection of beers from Cotswold breweries - including a rich and luscious porter, a devilishly hoppy Imperial IPA and one brewery's take on a Californian steam beer, while not forgetting a selection of sun-flecked golden ales and beefy bitters. This is your chance to take a journey through the rich variety of the region's ales with a passionate and expert advocate of the brilliance that is beer.


Don Burgess 3pm - Don Burgess

Beer and food : why the grain IS mightier than the grape at table
A look at how beer can be a better match for food than wine, and the developing interest in the subject of matching the two. Beer is our national drink, we should savour it more and explore its possibilities when drunk alongside food far more than we do. The subject tackled from a completely biased food loving brewers' point of view!!
