Learn - Hop to it! The importance of hops in beer with Pirate Life.

Come on in. This is learning at its most immersive: sessions led by top sommeliers and winemakers that cover the basics and happily explore more nuanced elements too. Modern food and drink pairing, how hops influence beer, sommelier secrets and winemaking basics are in the spotlight. Come with questions and leave inspired.

What does humulus lupulus have to do with your favourite brew? Everything. Join Pirate Life’s Tim Kenny to discover how this remarkable perennial plant shapes beer.  

Hops guide bitterness, aroma, flavour and foam stability – and have antimicrobial properties that traditionally kept beer fresh before refrigeration. While most beer drinkers know a little about their role, there’s also plenty about the power of hops that might surprise you.
