Our London breweries tour is an incredible 8 stop adventure in one of the world's coolest cities. http://adventureswithbeer.com/beer-tours/london-breweries-tour/ Any self respecting beer fan in London at the weekend really needs to head to the Bermondsey Beer Mile. Our walking tour starts close to Tower Bridge on the south of the Thames before going deeper into South East London. We'll then check out a great range of brewtaps, bottleshops and bars. Bermondsey Beer Mile has gained a real reputation for being the capital of London beer and after taking our London Breweries Tour you'll see why. IPA's, stouts, sours and more are all on this not to be missed trail.

The growing popularity of artisan bread, cakes and pastries across the UK is creating an ever-increasing demand for locally produced, real bread and baked goods. Providing high quality produce is only one element of a successful business and this course is packed with practical information and expert guidance on how to meet local demand through the creation of a micro-bakery. Micro-bakeries make bread, cakes and pastries for direct retail, wholesale or food markets. Offering low food miles, fresh products and the opportunity for people to 'shop local', these businesses are thriving in many communities. The course is delivered by Ian Waterland, who has established and runs a successful bakery in Leicestershire. Ian is a past student of the School, gaining a distinction in our Advanced Diploma in Artisan Baking. Since graduating in 2014 Ian has set up his own micro-bakery and has a wealth of experience and expertise to share. (see website for full details)
