No Rest for Fools - Lost and Grounded Meet the Brewer at The Duke's Head, Highgate

Matthew Curtis March 7, 2017

Total Ales & The Duke’s Head, Highgate Present

~ NO REST FOR FOOLS ~

A meet the brewer with Bristol’s Lost and Grounded Brewers - Featuring a live interview with its founders, Alex & Annie, as we taste through their range while enjoying food pairings from kitchen residency Le Bao

Saturday April 1st, 2pm – 5pm, The Duke’s Head, Highgate, London N6 5JG

Tickets: £25pp available via Ticketsource here: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/date/347172 – Includes lashings of beer and a tasting menu from Le Bao.

Over the past two years at The Duke’s Head we’re proud to have set the benchmark with our “meet the brewer with a difference” events. We’ve been fortunate enough to host some of the UK’s best breweries, including Beavertown, Cloudwater, Northern Monk and many, many more. This April 1st we’re honoured to welcome Bristol’s Lost and Grounded Brewers as guests at our next event.

Lost and Grounded has made waves within the UK beer scene since its launch in August 2016. Beers such as its Belgian inspired Red Ale, No Rest for Dancers (the title of which we’ve interpreted for this event) and special lager beer, Running with Sceptres have captivated drinkers and ensured that this outfit has hit the ground running. 

We’re looking forward to welcoming Lost and Grounded’s founders, Alex and Annie, to a relaxed Saturday afternoon session at The Duke’s Head. We’ll kick things off at 2pm with a welcome drink and then give everyone plenty of time to settle in with a beer while enjoying the delicious Taiwanese inspired steamed buns from Le Bao. Then at 3 we’ll get into the meat of the event - a live Q&A between Alex, Annie and resident beer writer Matthew Curtis. 

After the Q&A questions will be opened up to the floor and moderated by Matthew, so please come along curious. After this we’ll continue enjoying beer and conversing for as long at we feel like it, so there’ll be no need to rush off if you don’t have to. There’ll be no messing around and guaranteed no April’s fools – unless you decide to stay at the pub until late and the deer mask and gold cloak make an infamous appearance. 

So please join us at The Duke’s Head on Saturday April 1st for a tasting that’s guaranteed to be very special and might even feature a surprise or two from the Lost & Grounded folks. Tickets are just £25 and our pub is very small, so we’re very limited to the amount of people we can squeeze in – so don’t delay in picking up a ticket if you plan on joining us.
