Cheers, let’s play it by beer!
Aims
The Ariel Wine & Beer Society’s sole aim is to teach its members and their guests about wine, beer and related topics in a fun and interesting way.
Activities
We run regular informal evening tastings and events. Our tasting events are run by both speakers from the trade or by a member. Whether you are a beginner or know your chardonnay from your chenin they aim to be of interest to all. Each tasting covers a different country, area, grape or follows a specific theme. Events are normally held on the second Wednesday evening of each month in, or close to a BBC London building and can cater for between 25 and 30 people. In addition to tasting events, trips are organised when opportunities present. Tasting suggestions or volunteers to cover a particular area of interest are always welcomed.
For those interested in home winemaking or brewing, members with expertise are always willing to advise. There is an extensive library of books on wine and beer. Magazines, including Decanter, are circulated among members. Back copies and books may be borrowed on request Cost to join £8 renewed annually on 31 March
A charge is made for each event to cover costs for the consumables which is usually between £7 and £10 for Ariel Wine & Beer members. Guests are welcome if space allows at a supplemented cost.
