Beer Safari
Join us on 23 June 2012
Join Adnams' Head Brewer to learn more about what goes into creating great tasting beer. This one day course is perfect day out for anyone with a genuine interest in beer, its ingredients and different styles and flavours. Of course, there is plenty of opportunity to taste the beer!
Beer Safari is a unique day that gives you exclusive access to the world famous Adnams brewery in Southwold and takes you on a tour of the Suffolk countryside to visit a hop farm and malting barley farm.
With Adnams’ head brewer as your guide, you will learn how beer is made and find out more about the key ingredients – hops and malted barley – and their impact on flavour. You will learn about the brewing process at Adnams and see the state of the art brewery.
You will visit one of Suffolk’s new hop farms, right next door to Food Safari’s HQ and see how hop farming has changed and hear about different and new varieties of hops being grown in the area. Back at Food Safari HQ we will steep some hop pellets in water and you can experience just how bitter hops taste on their own but also discover the huge variety of aromas and flavours that they add to beer. You will also taste a range of malted barley – from smoked malt through to aromatic malt and see just how sweet beer would be without hops!
Over lunch at Food Safari HQ you will learn how to pair beer with food and discover that beer is often a better partners than wine for somethings like a strong blue cheese or a rich chocolate pudding. This is a chance to learn how to show off to friends!
Back at Adnams in Southwold, you will visit the brewery tasting rooms and learn about the different styles of beer that Adnams produces. This is your chance to sample a variety of Adnams beers and put any final questions to their brewers.
