Get to grips with home brewing at CAMRA’s next virtual masterclass

Homebrewer Andy Parker – who channelled his hobby into setting up multi-award-winning Elusive Brewery – will be leading a free virtual session about homebrewing on Tuesday 26th May at 6pm.

The event will be hosted at CAMRA’s new virtual pub, the Red (On)Lion, which was created to help beer lovers share a pint with their friends and family during lockdown. 

Andy Parker is no stranger to sharing his home brewing knowledge with CAMRA members, having previously written the guide CAMRA’s Essential Home Brewing (which the session shares its name with)Andy will help attendees build their confidence to take their first steps into home brewing. 

Up to 50 people can sign up to join Andy and sample some of his brewery’s beers, whilst learning about how to start making your own brews.

Andy will do a tasting of the following three beers as part of the session:

  • Level Up (Level 22: Cascade & Amarillo) 
  • Shadow of the Beast 
  • Overdrive (Lap 18: Columbus & Citra) 

These beers are now available to buy directly from the Elusive Brewing website: https://www.elusivebrewing.com/mixed-bottle-packs/mixed-bottle-packs

Andy Parker said: “Taking your first steps into home brewing can be daunting, especially with such a wide range of equipment, ingredients and information out there. My own brewing journey started in my own home, and I have lots of advice and tips that will hopefully help other budding brewers as they get started. I am excited to try some beers and share some wisdom with like-minded people, and hope to see you all there!”
