Event Description

Join us for an immersive evening celebrating the crisp, refreshing world of lager and pilsner. Far more than just easy-drinking favourites, these iconic beer styles have rich histories stretching from medieval cellars to revolutionary breweries across Europe.

We’ll explore the birth of golden lager in 19th-century Bavaria and the groundbreaking creation of the world’s first pale pilsner in Plzeň in 1842 – a beer that changed brewing forever. Along the way, we’ll uncover how traditional cold fermentation, noble hops, and continental brewing craftsmanship shaped the beers we know today.

Throughout the evening, you’ll taste eight carefully selected lagers and pilsners, spanning classic European examples to modern interpretations. Expect everything from clean, malt-driven Helles styles to bright, hop-forward Czech and German pilsners, with insight into flavour profiles, brewing techniques, regional variations, and the stories behind each glass.

Whether you’re a curious newcomer or a seasoned beer lover, this guided tasting promises flavour, history, and lively conversation in equal measure.
