Five local beers in a custom tasting room
An expert‑led tasting focuses on five distinct offerings from the Beer Mile’s breweries, presented in Hiver’s custom tasting room alongside a cheeseboard—an efficient way to sample the area’s craft profile without committing to a full pub crawl.
Street food and local sights on your doorstep
The tasting sits within walking distance of the area’s street‑food scene, allowing you to pair your samples with fare from nearby markets and to continue exploring the Beer Mile independently after the session.
Vouchers, a map and a memento
Along with a Taproom drink voucher and a self‑guided map of the Beer Mile, every guest receives Hiver seeds to plant—small details that extend the experience beyond the tasting itself.
