Malt does a lot for your beer. It provides the sugar for the yeast, which is then turned into alcohol, along with flavour and body. Without malt, beer would have never been invented, but how much do you know about it? This is your chance to learn the flavours, colours and textures of this wonderful ingredient. Tastings provided.

Hops - Flavour of the Week

The Duke of Wellington

It's pretty hard to ignore the impact hops have had on beer. Pre-hops beer was flavoured with herbs and spices, and then we realised how good hops were at providing bitterness, flavour and aroma while also being a natural preservative. In recent years hops have become front and centre in modern beers and we are still learning about all the neat things they can do.
