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.
About the Presenter
Over the last 35 years Richard Morrice has worked in every aspect of the beer trade in the UK and overseas. He has learned a lot, made masses of friends in the industry and is passionate about great beers and the people who brew them.
At Beers and Banter events he shares lots of information in an engaging way. People enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, the stories and of course the beers and competitions.
Our Events
Off the shelf or tailor-made, we have the beer tasting event for you.
We have a range of well-crafted off the shelf tasting events which run all year round. There is something to suit everyone, whether they have just started learning about beer or are very knowledgeable and looking for a challenge. We usually have a group of about twenty people, but more can be catered for.
Each of our events has:
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.
