I popped along to the London Beer Lab's brew day yesterday (christmas present from Simon). It was great, very informative even if you are a seasoned brewer. Plus you get to drink beer at certain intervals. Me and another guy got there a little bit early so we helped the head brewer with his experimental speculoos beer. Yes as in the addictive biscuits. We also made a wheat beer, biere de garde, a dark cascadian ale and an english pale ale. Their mashtun/boiler system is amazing (20l Braumeister electric kettles) however I did gawp when I found out they were £1,200 each.
We get to go back in about 3 weeks time to help bottle what we brewed and take it home.
They hold homebrewers meetings every month which I might pop along to.
