Grain Brewery / Steam Packet, Rose Lane – Thursday 23rd October
We’ve teamed up with Grain to brew a beer. There’s just one problem … we don’t know what’s in it! On Thursday the 23rd of October we’re running ‘The Grainiac Challenge’ – correctly guess the malts or hops in our ‘SteamPacket Special’ ale and win some Grain-related goodies! We’re running a line-up of three other Grain cask ales including Caledonian Slate, a limited-edition version of their award-winning smoked porter that has been barrel-aged in whisky casks.

Elephant School / Malt & Mardle, Magdalen St – Thursday 23rd October from 7pm
A chance to meet the brewers, taste their beers, and hear the stories behind them. Tickets available in advance for £12 per person. There is also an Elephant School tap takeover from October 22nd.

Chevallier (Bruha) Brewery / Red Lion Bishopgate – Friday 24th October
Chevallier Brewery (formerly Bruha) will be taking over all six of our ale lines, a great opportunity to try their ales in one place. As well as the takeover we will be holding a raffle with cases of Chevallier beer and a brewery tour up for grabs. 1 ticket will be given per purchase of a Chevallier product on the day.

Mr Winter’s / Rose Inn, Queen’s Rd – Tuesday 28th October, 7.30pm
Meet the Brewer – Mark Winter, brewer at Mr Winter’s will be in the bar to talk about the brewery, one of the oldest in the county, its history and beers, and all things beer, plus there’s cheese and charcuterie nibbles too provided by the pub.
