Chorlton Brewery and Sour Beers with Mike Marcus
Chorlton Brewery and Sour Beers with Mike Marcus
Saturday 2 July 2016 – 7:30 – 10:00pm
When I first tasted sour beer, I wondered how anyone in their right mind could drink the stuff. I sat for about an hour trying to get my head around it, before eventually giving up.
A year later, I sampled the exact same Gueuze I’d struggled to drink and wondered why on Earth I had made such a meal of it back then. It was delicious and now sour beers are some of my favourites. For this reason I am keen to champion them here in Stoke, and as Chorlton brew some of the finest British examples, who better to help me do that then their head brewer.
Former fine artist Mike Marcus launched Chorlton Brewing back in 2014, coming up with his own unique recipes after months of researching and travelling to Europe’s best beer regions delving into their secrets along the way. Mike plans to take you on a journey of discovery through sour beers, sampling not only beers of his own making, but some of the styles and favourites that inspired his own path into brewing.
We plan to make this a relaxed, informal night, keeping numbers low to ensure comfort and an enthusiastic audience.
Tickets are priced at £15 which covers five beer samples and a few snacks and will be on-sale in the shop from Tuesday 22 June.
A little about me…
This is a bit of an introduction from me, Phil, I am the proud owner of Otter’s Tears. I’m not your stereotypical craft beer shop owner, no quirky hat, plaid shirt nor the seemingly obligatory beard (I tried to grow one once but it was pitiful). But it turns out I do know a reasonable amount about good beer and beer quality, with well over ten years experience in the industry. Otter’s Tears caters for the serious beer lover, the beer enthusiast, the beer collectors and connoisseurs as well as those new to beer setting out on your own beer journey. I want you to be comfortable buying beer from me whoever you are, so if you need a helping hand, please get in touch. When you visit the Otter’s Tears website, I want it to feel like the beery equivalent of walking onto the set of “Tales Of The Unexpected” an exciting twist or an “I never expected to find that” moment around every corner. Dive in and explore Otter’s Tears for yourself, find your next beer moment!
