Beer Tasting in the Whitchurch Silk Mill

Longdog Brewery is a small family run independent brewer on the edge of Basingstoke and has been a regular attendee to events around the area including farmers markets and food fairs.

On Saturday 24th February they visit the historic Whitchurch Silk Mill on the River Test and hold a convivial evening of beer tastings and food. 

Longdog Brewery produces a range of traditional hand-crafted cask and bottled beers including golden pale ales, bitters, porters and IPAs as well as a number of seasonal specials. 

The award-winning micro-brewery was established in 2011 and came under the ownership of Rod and Jenny in 2019 who have continued the local traditions all with a focus on using local ingredients. Only last month did they take Silver in the Regional round of the Champion Beer of Britain for their Lamplight Porter (*see below for presentation).

The Silk Mill is a fantastic venue for this event being a 19th century water mill that weaves English silk fabrics using original 19th century machinery. It is a Grade II* Listed Building and one of Hampshire's hidden gems of industrial heritage, once employing 108 staff including 39 children under 13 years of age. It is now owned by Hampshire Buildings Preservation Trust and open to the public.

All tickets for this event must be booked in advance.
