Ever wondered why a gin is London Dry, or what overproof actually means? Well, by telling the stories of the fabulous people who craft enchanting spirits in Shropshire, local drinks writer Ed Thomas will lead us through the fascinating world of small batch distilling.

There will be four top tipples, accompanied by paired snacks, to enjoy while Ed meanders through the process of distilling. Discusses the people who pour their passion into their products and explains why place, locality and provenance are all so important.
