Dark Beer Tasting

This time we will explore the incredible world of dark beers! Those of you not familiar with these beers might have had (or seen) Guinness in pubs, but this is just the most famous and popular version of what we will taste in our next event. Dark beers, in fact, can range from the lightest milds to the heaviest barley wines and imperial stouts, passing through milk/oatmeal/chocolate stouts and porters–just to name a few. We are going to present some of these different styles typical from the UK and abroad, hoping that even those of you who are suspicious about dark beers might find something you enjoy!

The tasting will be held in the Nihon Room, Pembroke College, on February 21st (and not on the 16th as written in the term card), from 8.30 pm. The price will be around £10 members/£12 non-members, but we will confirm the exact sum in the next days. There are 12 places for this event, so book yours with this doodle (please write your crsID):

Belgian beer tasting

CURAS’s first event of the Lent Term will be a Belgian beer tasting on Wednesday the 23rd January. Amazing Jess from The Elm Tree has agreed in guiding us once again through the mouth-watering mazes of Belgian beer. We are going to taste eight of them of different styles, and we will see how, despite still being called “ales”, they vary quite a lot from British ones!

There are only 8 places available, so fill in the doodle below with your crsID to secure one. (If you don’t have a crsID, put down your email address or let us know how to contact you):

The tasting will take place at the pub (16A Orchard Street) from 8pm and will run for roughly one hour, but people are welcome to stay longer to enjoy more of the lovely atmosphere and the lovely beer.

The price will be around £10-£12 for members and £12-£14 for non members (TBC).
