Relaxed wine and cheese tasting of six wines paired with cheese, guided by sommelier Frederika from Berkmann Cellars.
Mad Squirrel is hosting Call My Bluff, a wine tasting evening, on Thursday 19 November from 19:00 to 21:00. It's held in the brewery's private upstairs function room, which looks across the Abbey, and you'll get a glass of Everflyt English sparkling wine on arrival.
The evening is built around six wines — three whites, a rosé and two reds — each paired with a cheese. Frederika, a sommelier with the wine supplier Berkmann Cellars, guides the tasting and talks through what makes each wine distinctive. The whole thing is framed as a fun way to find out how good your palate really is, and they're clear that there's no pressure to be a wine expert to get something out of it. It's more about relaxed discovery than showing off what you know.
Because it's in the private function room rather than the main bar, it's a bit more contained than a usual night at the brewery, and the view of the Abbey is a nice backdrop to have while you're working your way through the glasses. You'll be tasting through the whites, the rosé and the reds one by one, with the cheese pairings to go alongside them.
