Myself and our very own Tom Scarborough (as seen on BT Sport, Wednesday day shift and FC Wishful Drinking) battled the elements to attend the event at Beermerchants Tap in Hackney Wick.

We sampled a range of Stigbergets beers, from core bangers such as Atlas to a few of their new releases. This was all included in a tutored tasting with Head Brewer Oli Banks. The cherry on top was the surprise inclusion of Hazelnut Big Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout – an absolute banger but not for the faint of heart coming in at a whopping 13.5%!

There was also be a Stigbergets vs Verdant tap takeover at Beermerchants Tap following the tasting, which allowed us to sample even more great beers before making our way back along the Met line to Ricky.

Watch this space as we will be in discussions to stock Stigbergets beers soon and may also host our own event with them at a future date.
