York Beer and Crisps Tasting Experience with Emma Moore

York’s compact streets and centuries-old core make an unlikely but fitting stage for an evening that celebrates hops and crunch: the £35 Beer & Crisps Tasting Experience in York, England. Hosted by WSET-educated beer expert Emma Moore, this two-hour tasting gathers up to twenty guests to sample ten distinct beers—lively lagers, resinous IPAs, roasty stouts—each matched with a carefully chosen crisp to reveal how salt, fat, and texture change perception of aroma and flavor. The event takes place in York’s beer-loving scene, drawing beverages from northern breweries and the region’s craft taprooms. The key features are the ten generous pours and their paired crisps, Emma’s guided tasting narrative, and a light-hearted beer quiz with a prize. You’ll move through beer styles and learn practical tasting language—how hop profiles, malt backbone, carbonation, and serving temperature alter what you taste—while cracking open why a particular crisp accentuates bitterness or highlights caramel notes. The setting is convivial, educational, and aimed at both curious beginners and seasoned drinkers who want to sharpen tasting skills. This experience stands out because it frames beer as a culinary ingredient rather than just a drink. Yorkshire has long been a brewing region and York itself combines historic streets with a modern taproom culture; the tasting leverages that context, bringing regional brews to the fore and treating the humble crisp as a revelatory pairing partner. Emma Moore, described in the listing as a proud Yorkshire lady and storyteller, guides the evening so you leave knowing how to talk about beers with confidence and how to design your own pairings at home. Plan to arrive with photo ID—the event is strictly 18-plus—and a willingness to taste broadly. Group size is limited to 20, which keeps conversation personable and the pace relaxed.
