Working in a bar or restaurant and want to expand your beer horizons? Garrett Oliver, brewmaster for New York’s legendary Brooklyn Brewery will be speaking at Imbibe 2010 on Tuesday afternoon at Earls Court.

While you are there, check out the Hop & Apple Garden for a few other fruit and cereal-derived tipples. Taste your way around the globe, from Shepherd Neame’s iconic Spitfire Ale via a medley of world beers from adventurous suppliers like James Clay, plus a clutch of ciders throug, and finish with farm-pressed juice and cider from Somerset’s Orchard Pig farm.

And for something cleansing at the end, why not test out teapigs, and see whether the flavours of Fentimans and Fever Tree live up to their reputation?

With 40 events, including the final of the Sommeliers vs Bartenders at 3.30pm on the Tuesday – see the latest issue of Imbibe for the tale so far – it will pay to plan your time. See imbibe.com/2010/whats-on
