Thursday 11th - An Evening with Melissa Cole

Orbit Beers Taproom 

Join us at the taproom on Thursday 11th May for an evening with Certified Cicerone© and world-renowned beer writer Melissa Cole. Melissa’s passion in life is getting people to learn as little, or as much, as they want about what she considers the finest social lubricant known to humankind - beer!

Tickets are £10, or £17 including a copy of Melissa's book 'The Little Book of Lager' which features Orbit's award-winning Koln Lager Nico. Melissa will lead a tasting of beers which feature in the book and will be discussing her experiences of brewing, beer styles, tasting notes, and the perfect food pairings.
