Holborns Ale Tasting Night in Ormskirk on Thursday 18th April
I've teamed up with Holborn Ales in Ormskirk to offer a bottled ale tasting night on Thursday 18th April 2013. For £10 (per person) you will get to try half a bottle of six carefully selected ales picked by myself as well as some nibbles to keep the beer munchies at bay. I'll introduce each beer, guide you through sampling it and you'll get a chance to provide Holborns with your opinion in the form of a group 'baron rating'.

Update: The evening was a great success and hopefully was a bit of an eye-opener for some about the range of ales that are out there. Everyone was game to take part in my group baron rating so here are the results:
