Bus, Beer & Banter
| Group Leaders: | Tricia Stevenson & Maureen Mansfield |
| When: | 2nd Wednesday of each month |
| Where: | Out and about |
The Bus, Beer & Banter Group meet for daytime visits to pubs, breweries & beer festivals in Gosport & further afield to enjoy beer, good company & a chat. Members are welcome to join us at any or all of the four pubs that we usually visit.
Never had craft beer or real ale? Here’s your chance to give them a try, there is a huge range so you should find something to your taste. Don’t like beer? No problem join us for the drink of your choice & a chat. Have lunch or a snack & explore the local area if you wish.
We usually meet on the second Wednesday of each month. Alternative arrangements will be made where brewery tours or beer festivals fall on a different day.
