Award-winning beer writer and renowned tasting host Des de Moor is out and about this autumn hosting tutored tastings, talks and signings to celebrate the publication of his groundbreaking and comprehensive new book, Cask: The real story of Britain’s unique beer culture, introducing the delights of cask beer to a new generation.

On 2 November he’s co-presenting with Justin Hawke again at the Queens Head, Newton, Cambridge, one of the ‘famous five’ pubs in every edition of the Good Beer Guide. 8 November finds him at the Nags Head, Reading, co-hosting with Siren brewery. Then there’s another relaxed Sunday afternoon session on the Blackhorse Mile, London, on 19 November at the Beerblefish taproom, followed by a visit to the Celtic Beer Festival at St Austell brewery in Cornwall on 25 November.
