    I went to one before. There were about fifteen people at the table and they brought the beers over one at a time and Oliver (the owner) and Peter (the brewer) talked us through the features of the beers. It was fun.

    You do need to stick yourself down on the list so we know you're coming. But it doesn't cost anything to sign up to the forum and do that.

    next month will see wheat beers at the tastings, crazy if they change it to pay! they have to resort to recruiting people on the night at the tasting ive been to. dont think people will be willing to pay.
