Beer, Wine & Cognac Tasting

With Richard Broad of Sovereign Wines & Spirits.  Richard is the brand manager for Church End Brewery.  

We will be sampling Church End beers and talking about the real ales which we will have on tap.  

Wine with food.  

Church End Brewery, started life in an old coffin workshop behind the Griffin Inn, Shustoke, Warwickshire. Its goal was to be a hands on croft brewery making a wide range of cask conditioned beers. The brewery philosophy only allows the use of good quality raw materials such as floor malted barley and whole hops. Definitely no processed sugars. M Reg was the first brew on the 1st August 1994, followed by whats the Foxs Hat and M Reg GTI. We now have a range of 40 distinct beers including fruit beer made with real fruit. Herb Beer made with fresh herbs. Wheat Beers made with a high proportion of malted wheat, Black Beers with Chocolate Malt and Honey Beers with real honey.
