From Hive to Pint: Beer, Cider & Honey Tasting

About this experience

From Hive to Pint: Beer, Cider & Honey Tasting

From Hive to Pint is Hiver's introduction to what bees and beer have in common. Over 50 minutes in the Bermondsey taproom you'll taste a selection of beer, cider and honey, with snacks, and find out how raw honey goes from the hive into a pint.

Most beer tastings only cover the beer. This one also shows where the honey comes in. Hiver ferments its beers with raw honey, so you'll taste the honeys alongside the drinks and pick out how each one changes the finished beer. It's a relaxed, sociable tasting, and it works well before a wander along the rest of the Beer Mile.

When it runs

Tastings are held at the taproom from Friday to Sunday (Fridays 4pm–10pm, Saturdays 11am–late and Sundays 12pm–9pm). Check Hiver's booking page for the start times available on your date.

Who it's for

It's a good choice for first-timers, couples and small groups who want something more interesting than a round at the bar, and anyone curious about bees. Everyone must be 18 or over, and ID may be checked.

About Hiver

Hiver is a London honey beer brand, born out of an admiration for the city's urban beekeepers and a passion for craft beer. Its beers use only British ingredients and are fermented with raw honey, and the range includes a Honey Blonde Beer and a Honey Brown Ale. Hiver is one of the longest-standing venues on the Bermondsey Beer Mile, and its taproom on Stanworth Street has a live colony of bees in an exhibition hive on the wall.
