Please note: we will not be running any Discover events until the end of August. However, we are still available for Bespoke and Corporate events.
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.
Banter
Follow us on social media and join in with the banter!
RT @pilotbeeruk When we said we were starting a brewery people scoffed. They said we’d be no good at it, that we’d never make any money, that we couldn’t live with the long hours and the hard graft. Well, it’s taken nearly 6 years but we’ve proved those doubters absolutely right.
RT @DCampoamor I’m depressed as fuck. More than I’ve ever been in my life. I have anxiety, suffer from PTSD, & am battling an eating disorder. Guess how many fucking people I’ve shot & killed. Zero. Don’t blame mental illness. Blame toxic masculinity, white supremacy, & easy access to guns.
RT @BroadhurstBooks Customer: "Can you price-match Amazon on this book?" Us: "No. We don't get the same margins as Amazon. And we have costs they don't in daily running the shop. And we pay tax. And the book is here, in your hands, right now." C: "I'll go to Amazon, I think." #BookshopLife 😡
RT @yorkgin Thrilled to announce York Gin Old Tom is officially one of the world’s best spirits - winning a rare GOLD OUTSTANDING medal at the prestigious International Wine & Spirit Competition @theIWSC 🥇🍸😀 Kudos to our collaborators, Michelin-starred @TheStaratHarome 👍🏼 #OnlyInYork pic.twitter.com/drSUsfOTlC
@maltingsyork It is such a shame. People travel from all over the World to spend their precious leisure time here and are faced with this.
RT @Haggis_UK Ian Hislop - When Boris Johnson says optimism.. he means he hasn't got any ideas. When he says we need to be positive.. he means he has no plan. When he says it's very simple.. he means he hasn't read any of the detail. #PeoplesVote #PMQs #FinalSay #NotMyPM pic.twitter.com/qiKO8iUfJF
RT @jamesrbuk Your occasional reminder that Priti Patel was fired from the cabinet for running her own backchannel diplomatic operation – via a lobbyist – behind the PM’s back. Her cabinet return after that kind of misconduct would in normal times be staggering.
RT @sanditoksvig 0.2% of the population voted to make Boris Johnson PM. It’s embarrassing for the Tory party that he was the best they could do, devastating for democracy and horrifying for the country.
Is there such a thing as a Summer Beer? If so what’s your favourite and when did you enjoy it most?#yorkbeer#withinthewalls#visityork
I went to the revamped Three Legged Mare. Nice and clean, good range of beers, friendystaff but....toooo bright!
