Guild members will have a chance to hear and debate with some of the country’s leading academics working in the field of pubs and beer in Nottingham next month at a joint event organised with the Drinking Studies Network.
In recent years pub closures have hit local communities and the beer market – and it has also attracted academic attention, delving into the deeper questions of how losing their local impacts people’s lives, a crisis that plays into the role of the British pub plays out in national ideologies.
These real and imaginary aspects of the pub will be the twin focus of the afternoon, with presentations from Dr Thomas Thurnell-Read from Loughborough University, Dr Claire Markham from Nottingham Trent University, Dr James Kneale from UCL and others.
And afterwards, to lighten things up, Nottingham’s Castle Rock Brewery will deliver a tutored tasting to illustrate their efforts to perfect beers below the 3.5% duty threshold, including the use of a special yeast.
