Its never been a more exciting time to enjoy the pleasures of beer but the wonderful choice now available can be quite bewildering. The aim of the Group is to help you understand and appreciate the many and varied beers you’ll now encounter and set you on the way to identifying the style and taste profiles of those beers that give you the greatest enjoyment. Throw in a convivial atmosphere as well- what could be more fun?

Our Credo ‘Life is too short and the liver too brittle to bother oneself with second rate beer’

The Group meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 4pm at one of our three local micropubs below..

The Hop Inn - https://upminster.u3asite.uk/wp-admin/post.php?post=1075&action=edit

Upminster Tap Room - https://upminster.u3asite.uk/wp-admin/post.php?post=394&action=edit

Gidea Park Micro Pub - https://upminster.u3asite.uk/wp-admin/post.php?post=1077&action=edit

We also have a planned calendar of monthly outings which can include trips to beer festivals, brewery tours, city beer breaks, historic and themed pub walks, and tutored beer tastings.

   The Group will:

• Introduce you to the wonderful world of brewing
• Help you understand how the brewing process and ingredients impact the different colours, aromas and flavours of the varied beers you’ll experience
• Help you explore the many different styles of beers available today
• Help you match your favourite food with appropriate beers
• Give you a fun time hanging out with other sociable members who also share the joy of beer tasting!   

Don’t forget: The taste of beer is a personal matter as everyone’s taste perceptions are different. Your key question in deciding whether a beer is good or not is simply ‘will you have another one?’!
