Beer Tasting & Pie Workshop Event
Organised by the School Of Booze, whose website can be visited to view here,
Marika will lead your group in an informal and fun session where you will learn how to make short-crust pastry and then create your own meat or vegetarian pies from scratch. Whist the pastry is cooling there will be a short Pie Quiz with prices at dinner.
Later as the pies are baking, the group will take part in a beer tasting challenge with Jane Peyton ('Britain's Beer Sommelier of the Year') where they will blind taste a selection of Britain's best beers. Jane will relate a plethora of fascinating facts about beer history and culture about the world's favourite alcoholic drink.
By then the pies will be ready so what better than for you to sit down with your culinary work of art and tuck in, washing it down with a glass of beer. But before you do, make sure to show off the results of your pie-making prowess to your friends!
