Calling all apprentices and early-career brewers!

Join us for a hands on brew day with two experienced brewers Mat Henney (Production Manager at St Austell Brewery) and Alex Simpson (Lead Brewer, Left Handed Giant Brewpub) in Bristol! We will start promptly at 7am, and lunch will be provided.

We will be brewing an Irish Dry Stout and it'll be racked into cask for the Annual Social of the Southern UK section at the Tower of London taking place on 27^th of June!

Recipe development will be done prior to the brew day with Alex and Mat and an email thread will be formed to enable this. The email you use to book your ticket will be the email we will contact you on.
