Alston Bar and Beef Gin Masterclass

With 120+ gins behind our bar, we’ve learned a thing or two about gin, and can't wait to share that knowledge. We’ll explain the origins of gin culture, from “Dutch Courage” to “Mother’s Ruin”. It’s not just about the history, we’ll talk you through the distillation processes, the common and not so common botanicals used in gins, as well as how to pair with our favourite garnishes.
