Running alongside the BBC Summer Good Food Show, Beers of the World Live showcases beer in a stylish environment with sampling as the core of the event, alongside great food and beer pairings, Masterclasses and live stage presentations. Bringing all the very best beer from around the world under one roof, Beers of the World Live will appeal to both the enthusiast and novice alike, with expert advice on hand and the opportunity to learn about the basics of beer.
Sampling the beers of the world
Beers of the World Live gives visitors the unique opportunity to sample great beers, while mingling with the brewers themselves, all under one roof.
Experiences and themed areas
The Bottled Beer Experience opens up the range of bottled beers from across the world.
The Food and Beer combinations are your opportunity to enjoy beers matched with cheese, chocolate...and many other culinary delights. Choose from the sweet or savoury combinations and let your palate do the rest.
The World Beer Awards: sample entrants to the 2009 World Beer Awards – a unique chance to sample so many different beers in one place.
Plus
The Beers of the World Live stage: celebrity presentations and beer tastings, live debates, competitions, entertainment and much more bring the Beers of the World Live stage to life throughout each day.
The Beer Lounge: take a break from the tastings and relax in our beer lounge.
The Beer Garden: this year we have created The Beer Garden, where you can enjoy a beer with a selection of food in the comfort of a beer garden environment.
