Description:
Last year we had the pleasure of hearing Lee talk about the history of stouts, this year he will be talking about the evolution of craft beer and current trends in beer, covering:
• People returning to session-able beers and classic styles
• Increased demand for Low/No alcohol drinks
• The adoption of less challenging beers (hazy pales, fruited beers)
• Craft lagers
• Increased stout/porter consumption
• Hype vs solid core beers
During the talk there will be samples of beer to taste to illustrate the topics raised, no doubt including those produced by Brew York!
The ticket price will be to cover the cost of the samples of beer, our presenters give their time for free.

Event Details

York Beer & Cider Festival returns to the spectacular surroundings of St Lawrence Parish Church - just near Walmgate Bar and the City Walls and within easy walking distance of the city centre and on the direct Bus 10 route from York Station. There will again be more beers and ciders than anywhere else in Yorkshire with over 200 available plus wines; prosecco and meads plus soft drinks and great food vendors.

With such a special venue, most if not all sessions are expected to sell out based on previous years' attendances - so be sure to purchase your tickets to your desired sessions in advance to guarantee entry.

For the first time ever CAMRA members get FREE ENTRY to every session of the festival, and to all CAMRA beer festivals.
