The local beer club meets at Padock Wood Brewing, at 7:30 pm, usually on the second Tuesday of each month excepting summer months. There are a few months where the location shifts, however, so see below.
The Headhunter's Beer Club is most generally a beer appreciation club. You don't need to be a hobby brewer, although many members do make excellent beers in wide variety of styles. Many members simply want to learn more about the vast world of beer. To that end each month typically features a beer style. We will sample commercial examples and home-made samples. Often someone will don the mantle of 'beer geek' and explain how the beer is made and what flavours we want & don't want to find.
