So far we have explored only how to enjoy different styles of beers, but it is also exciting to learn (and see!) where all those flavours come from and how the magic happens. This is why visiting breweries is always a term highlight for us! This time (Friday 30th, from 5pm) we are going to one of the locallest breweries in town, Calverley’s:

Despite being based in a small building they produce great beer, and whoever has already been to their taproom knows well that the guys are truly passionate about their job.

The brewery is just off Mill Road (23A Hooper Street), so there won’t be any transportation fees involved, but the event will cost £10 members/£12 non-members because (of course) we will get to try some of their amazing stuff while learning all about the brewing process.

To sign up fill in this doodle with your crsID, and if you are using another email address just put your name down and drop us an email, so that we can contact you about the logistic details:

Our next event will be a private tasting of some of the best beers at the CAMRA Cambridge Winter Beer Festival. The tasting will be held together with CAMRA members on November 15th from 4pm to 5pm, but you are welcome to stay further when the doors open to the public.

The price is £10 for members and £12 for non-members, to be paid in cash on the day. There are only 10 places available, so secure yourself one by filling out this doodle poll:

CURAS 2018 Michaelmas Term Card

After a quiet couple of weeks while many of our members will be sitting exams, the CURAS juggernaut rolls on in June with a trip to Ely in collaboration with our local branch of Young CAMRA. The trip will take place on Saturday 9th June and we will meet at Cambridge railway station at 11:20 with the plan to catch the 11:35 to Ely. We will be having a pub lunch and in the afternoon we will have the chance to take in a number of Ely’s other great pubs. We expect to return in the late afternoon but the timing of this is currently flexible.

If you are planning on coming along, please email wp251@cam.ac.uk so we can have a rough idea of numbers; this is purely informal so there’s no obligation to come if you do email. Please also email this address if you cannot make this time at the station and would like to join us later. Any enquiries on the day should still be directed to our committee address realale-committee@srcf.net.
