Most people think of whisky and beer as drinks that belong in separate glasses. Solera is about to prove otherwise.
On Saturday, 13 June 2026, Solera will host Whisky & Beer: An Unexpected Pairing Experience, a guided tasting event designed to explore one of the drinks world’s most overlooked flavour combinations.
Taking place at The Woodstock Exchange, the event invites guests to discover how whisky and beer can complement, contrast, and enhance one another in surprising ways.
- Throughout the afternoon, attendees will be guided through four whiskies and four beers, carefully selected to showcase the fascinating connection between brewing and distilling. From shared ingredients and production methods to the influence of malt, hops, oak, smoke, sweetness, and spice, the tasting reveals how these iconic beverages are more closely related than many realise.
Far more than a simple tasting, the experience is designed to be interactive and educational. Guests will gain insight into flavour profiles, pairing techniques, and the craftsmanship behind both beer and whisky, while enjoying a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of opportunities for discussion.
Whether someone considers themselves a whisky enthusiast, a dedicated craft beer fan, or simply enjoys discovering something new, this event offers a fresh perspective on two classic drinks. Expect unexpected flavour combinations, engaging conversation, and a few moments that may completely change the way beer and whisky are enjoyed in the future.
