Join No Half Measures for their brand-new event, Beer Debunked! This incredible event focuses on promoting a welcoming local beer scene and demystifying craft beer for all.
No Half Measures is a collective of like-minded women with one thing in common: their love of beer.
Like many great things, the No Half Measures Collective was formed over a few beers in a pub. A small group of women – some who worked within the beer industry, some that just happened to be drinking it at the time – decided to get together regularly to discuss, explore and enjoy great beers together. What started as an informal collective of beer enthusiasts quickly grew through word of mouth.
By early 2023, the group was thriving. They brewed their first beer in collaboration with Liquid Light for International Women’s Day. Around the same time, they joined our International Women’s Collab Brew Day to create “Crystal Clear” with Brewster’s Brewery, adding more members to their ranks. And to celebrate IWD the year after, we collaborated with the group to create “Order and Disorder”, a Castle Rock Brewery x No Half Measures New Zealand pale.
Since then, No Half Measures has become a regular presence at beer events across Nottingham. From tastings and launches to judging competitions, they’ve supported the local beer community every step of the way.
For more information, follow them on Facebook here.
Now, the group is taking things to the next level with ‘Beer Debunked’, a multifaceted, one-day event focussed on beer and hospitality that we are thrilled to support.
Beer Debunked takes place on Saturday 29th March, with three distinct sessions catering to beer lovers of all backgrounds. Expect ‘TED-Talks’-style lectures on industry topics, Q&A sessions, beer tastings, and an afterparty!
Whether you’re a brewer, an enthusiast, or just curious about craft beer, there’s something for you. Read on for the full list of events.
