It's a light-hearted and memorable way to spend your stag weekend with the lads.

If the stag is a beer lover, then a beer tasting experience is the ideal activity for them. You'll get to sample six delicious beers whilst learning about the brewing process. Alongside the tasting, you'll get to tuck into some delicious snacks and have a go at a tasting quiz to put your new knowledge to the test. At the end of the session, you and the lads will enjoy a tasty beer and burger meal.
