Ten Tastes in Two Hours: A Focused Craft-Beer Tasting at London Beer Lab.
London Beer Lab’s 10 Craft Beer Tasting Experience is a compact, popular session that guides guests through ten different beers in roughly two hours. The format is designed to expose tasters to a range of styles, strengths and flavours while the experienced team explains what makes each beer distinct. Because these regular tastings are in demand, spots commonly fill weeks ahead—book early to secure a place.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Ten beers, many styles (including taproom exclusives)
Across the session you sample ten beers chosen to span different styles and strengths, with some pours that are available only at the taproom.
Guided by an experienced team
Hosts provide background on each style and discuss the brewing differences that shape flavour and strength, turning the tasting into a concise course in beer-making and palate recognition.
A variety of styles in a single sitting
The format is intentionally broad—designed so you can compare contrasting beers side by side over the course of one session.
What the day feels like
What the tasting feels like
You arrive for a compact, instructor‑led session and move through a curated line‑up of ten beers over roughly 90–120 minutes. Each pour is framed by a short introduction to its style and the brewing choices behind it, so the tasting alternates tasting, explanation and comparison rather than a long uninterrupted drinking session.
