Beer & Brew

About Us

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.

Public events

Our beer tours have been awarded a Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence – read our reviews here.

Those with vouchers should email robert@beerandbrew.co.uk with their expiry date, and when tours and events resume a new expiry date will be issued.

We will resume hosting Brighton Beer Tours when the numbers of people having to self-isolate reduces. With so many people likely to need to cancel we can’t ask our venues to reserve us a table only to have to cancel or arrive with a far smaller party, the hospitality sector needs tables full of paying customers, not cancelled reservations. We hope to resume tours in January 2022, in the meantime see the exciting events we are able to do.

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
