Beer Tasting Experience Days: Beer is one of the best-loved drinks around the world, and what better gift for a beer-lover than the chance to learn how it's made! Try some of the world's finest brews - including those from Bournemouth's very own Brewhouse and Kitchen!
Your day starts at the Brewhouse and Kitchen, where you'll be welcomed by your beer expert. Firstly, they'll give an overview of the eight beers you'll be tasting. You'll then learn to identify the subtle differences and variety of flavours that make each one unique - and delicious! You'll learn to tell the difference between your hops and your malt, and discover flavours you'd never expect, like citrus fruits, apple or mango. Throughout this wonderful masterclass, you'll be treated to nibbles - or a sharing platter for larger groups. All these are selected to accompany your drinks perfectly, before you get to savour one of the excellent burgers for which the Brewhouse is also known.
The Bournemouth Beer Tasting Masterclass For Two voucher makes a wonderful gift for couples, or a gentle hint to your other half! If you want to treat someone who appreciates a lovely pint - look no further.

The world of beer is changing. Craft beers, speciality beers and world beers are appearing in our pubs, and beer drinkers around the UK are rejoicing! We visited Poole, a pretty Dorset seaside town, to try the Brewhouse and Kitchen’s beer tasting masterclass and find out what all the fuss is about!
Poole’s Brewhouse and Kitchen Pub is located in the heart of the seaside town, just a short walk from the train station and bus stops. It’s a beautiful pub full that’s of character. Beer bottle lamps light the bar and the walls are jam packed with bottles and quirky decoration. Our master brewer greeted us and showed us to our table, introducing us to the beer tasting class that would follow. She began our experience by explaining the brewing process and showing us the onsite brewing equipment. She explained how every beer has very few ingredients and the varying amounts of Hops and Malt used gives a unique flavour.
Then it was on to the bit I’d been waiting for, the tasting! We were handed a tasting sheet for note taking and our brewer went off to collect our first sample of the session. Every beer we tried was completely different. Some had been brewed on site (delicious by the way), some were bottles that had travelled from Europe or America and others were beautiful British craft beers.
The specific flavours and aromas were explained in detail for each sample we tried. We tasted a cloudy wheat beer that tasted of Banana and a gorgeous dark porter that was so smoky it tasted exactly like Bacon! Who knew you could experience so many delicious flavours within a single taste of beer? Of course, we also sampled more traditional styles of beer, all of which were delicious.
Between each new sample, we had plenty of time to sit back and relax with our beer in hand, enjoying the lovely atmosphere of the pub and chatting with our brewer. After tasting about 8 beers (and finishing a couple of the bottles off…) it’s safe to say we were feeling a little merry and ready for some lunch!
Included in this beer tasting experience experience is a gourmet burger – just what we fancied to accompany the last of our beer samples! I opted for a tasty goat’s cheese veggie burger and Naomi went for the bacon burger. Both were amazing and accompanied by a generous portion of chips. Delicious!
After we’d devoured our lunch and spent a little time exploring the rest of the bar and asking any last questions with our host for the day, it was time to head home. We left feeling extremely full and very happy with our introduction to the world of beer. I’d gained a great amount of knowledge and sampled some fantastic beers. I would highly recommend this masterclass to anyone who has an interest or love of this wonderful drink!
Brewhouse and Kitchen offer their beer tasting masterclasses at a number of different venues around the south. Check out the full range here. If you want to delve deeper into the world of beer, why not try out one of their brewing experiences? Have a look at the experience here.
1. How did Brewhouse & Kitchen begin?
Founded in 2011 by pub industry trailblazers Simon Bunn and Kris Gumbrell, the entrepreneurs saw an opportunity to recreate the ‘Great British Pub’ – a great social space with knowledgeable, friendly teams, the best beer, wine & spirits (a range of craft beers are brewed on site by the resident brewer) and excellent food!
2. What differentiates Brewhouse and Kitchen from other pubs and breweries?
Brewhouse and Kitchen is the UK’s largest and most innovative brewpub group! We offer brewery experience days, beer masterclasses, craft gin tasting and now our NEW whisky and beer pairing masterclass across the 23 brewpubs making B&K unique and different.
3. Do you have any exciting plans for the future of Brewhouse & Kitchen that you’d like to tell us about?
We are very excited! We are looking to open more Brewhouse & Kitchens very soon – watch this space!
4. Obviously it's difficult to choose, but what would you say is your favourite Brewhouse and Kitchen experience and why?
My favourite B&K experience is the whisky and beer pairing masterclass - The experience where two beautiful worlds collide! Our whisky and beer expert will guide you through the origins and history of beer and whiskies including an insight into the distilling and brewing, and the similarities of each process. You will be treated to 5 tastings from a range of interesting whiskies and 5 different paired beers (special tasting glasses will be provided). Tastings notes of each will be explained, allowing you to fully appreciate the subtleties from each of the beers, each of the whiskies and how the pairings work. To finish - choose your meal of choice from our Academy menu. Tastings are complemented with some tasty nibbles and water (room temp) is on offer. Its an experience not to be missed!
5. What will participants gain by attending a Brewhouse and Kitchen experience?
By attending a Brewhouse and Kitchen experience you will make fun memories, be guided by informative B&K experts, within a relaxed environment and be treated to delicious drinks and food!
6. We love that some of the Brewhouse and Kitchen experiences include a meal. Tell us a little bit about the food menu!
Our delicious academy one course menu is available with all our experiences. You can choose from a mouth-watering burger, or a selection of popular mains taken from our B&K core menu. The perfect end to a wonderful B&K experience!
Unfortunately the beers do contain gluten.
