“Let’s just say I’ll be asking to see the beer list next time I go for dinner”Birmingham Post & Mail

 

On Thursday 29th March Purity Brewing Co and Malmaison are joining forces once more for the women-only FemALE event, presented by award-winning beer writer, TV presenter and journalist Marverine Cole. This year they are hoping to attract 150 women, which they believe will make it the biggest event of its kind in the UK.

Last year 100 women attended the first FemALE event, which showcased gourmet food paired with craft beers from around the world. ‘Beer Beauty’ Marverine Cole guided guests through the courses, explaining each in turn and dispelling common beer myths along the way.

Paul Halsey, Co-Founder of Purity Brewing Co, was on hand to provide the brewer’s perspective and Paul Corbett of Charles Faram explained how hops impact the aroma and flavour of beer.

This year six tapas-style courses are on offer, each uniquely paired with a specialist beer to complement the flavours of the dish. Guests get to learn about the hugely varied styles of beers and why these natural products are undeserving of their ‘blokey’ reputation.

Marverine Cole adds: “Here’s a chance to learn more about this fabulous drink, taste six very different beers and sample gorgeous food in sumptuous surroundings. Don’t hesitate, grab a few girlfriends and make a glamorous night of it with other discerning beer-curious women.“

 

If all that fails to tempt you, guests get a special goodie bag crammed full of freebies to take home with them. Who said beer is just for boys?

 

The event is taking place at Malmaison, Birmingham on Thursday 29th March from 6-9pm. Tickets can be booked by email on reservations.birmingham@malmaison.com or over the phone on 0121 246 5000. For more information visit www.puritybrewing.com.
