What we do
We run excellent beer tasting events that are engaging, informative and fun – Beers and Banter!
The atmosphere is informal, with themes ranging from beer styles (IPA, wheat beer, etc.) through to major beer producing countries (Belgium, UK and others) as well as important innovations. Everyone is encouraged to get involved and to support their favourite beer.
That is where the banter comes in.
Each event features eight very different beers. We provide tasting notes, rating sheets, a competition and some snacks.

I'm putting together my Spring / Summer events programme. Let me know what beers you would like me to feature and if I include them you'll get a free ticket. No limits.
Great idea. And good fun as well. twitter.com/CottFoodFest/s…
Our first Cottingham Beers and Banter event. At the King Billy pub on Friday 5th October. Special low ticket prices at the Cottingham Food and Drink Festival on Sunday. And a few free tickets as well!
Thanks. Remember when you first set up the brewery. That’s how old I am. Keep up the great work. twitter.com/SierraNevada/s…
Each of our tasting events features:
A theme, to pull everything together.
A carefully selected range of 8 beers, with a 10cl industry standard tasting sample of each one. This is enough to allow you to check out the colour, aroma and taste of the beer whilst not overloading your palate which would spoil your enjoyment.
Lots of background about the brewers and their breweries.
Banter (that's your job)!
A tricky competition, which can be undertaken as an individual or as a team of two. The prize is beer related and may include some interesting and rare books.
Some snacks.
