THE EVENTS

Guests can treat their taste buds to intriguing pairings such as Yakima Red (an American-hopped red ale with a touch of German caramel malt) matched with brie, game terrine and ham hock; while one of Meantime’s longest serving brewers, Rod Jones, provides a fascinating insight into the beer making process.
