At Beer & Brew, our aim is to help people understand and enjoy beer. We run tastings, socials and courses that are open to all, and private events like Hen and Stag Parties. We also provide consultancy for pubs and restaurants, helping them choose the best beers for their menus, and training their teams to be 'beer ambassadors'. Beer & Brew is run by Robert Parker – an Institute of Brewing & Distilling (IBD) qualified Beer Sommelier, one of only a few hundred in the world.

There's no snobbery or preconceptions – it's just about making really good beer as accessible as possible. Rob's favourite beers are Belgian and German, and he … Read More

Brighton Beer Tour
Saturday 15 February
2pm-5pm
£32
Tickets available via Eventbrite
A wander around the heart of Brighton, punctuated (naturally) with various ‘beer stops’, where we’ll taste a range of beer styles. We’ll learn about the history of beer and brewing in the city, from fishermens’ inns to fashionable pump houses, and student hangouts to craft breweries. And periodically, to reward ourselves for all our walking and learning, we’ll stop off at some key hostelries, tasting six beers with a number of examples from across Sussex. The perfect afternoon out with friends or family – even those who claim they ‘don’t like beer’.

Consultancy & Training
The trend for 'craft beer' seems to know no limits - small breweries are opening all the time and homebrew is back in fashion. Even the big boys are getting in on the act, with megabreweries like Diageo and Molson Coors jumping on the 'artisan' branding wagon. If you run a bar or a restaurant, the new wealth of options can make deciding on your beer range feel like an impossible task. There are so many people brewing, selling and writing about beer that the possibilities are overwhelming. So, how do you choose? And how do you make sure your team are able to sell the beers you decide … Read More
