Every Tuesday evening Reverend JW Simpson hosts its incredibly popular series of informative, interactive and innovative Spirited Sermons master-classes.
The Reverend will be praising and preaching about some of the world’s oldest and most fascinating spirits, offering delicious new takes on classic recipes before inviting guests to try their hand at shaking them to life.
We checked out the recent ‘Best of British Brandy with the Somerset Cider Brandy Company ‘ totally unaware of Brandy cider, what it tastes like or whether we would even enjoy it. We came away informed, slightly merry and very much converted to the ways of this old fashioned tipple! A new staple for the drinks cabinet for sure!
Running throughout the next couple of months, every Tuesday, there are many more opportunities to hear wonderful anecdotes, taste some amazing concoctions and try your hand at cocktail making. Book ahead to avoid disappointment and go with mates for a decent evening out!
Sermons to look forward to….
