If you’re interested in further information on Rebellion, visit their shop or web-site at www.rebellionbeer.co.uk
Or, as a member of their beer club, I have a number of spaces available for guests to their members' evenings on Tuesdays (second Tuesday each month – including a tour of the brewery and all the beer you can drink between 7.30 and 9.30) – please e-mail me if you’d like to put your name down for one of them........
