Battle of the Beers
Thursday 21st May 2026 (7-10pm)
Croxtons, 94-96 Palmerston Road, Southsea, PO5 3PT.
Includes 6 generous tastings of new and exciting selections of craft beer with an explanation for each, as well as tasting cards, scoresheets and a prize draw to end the evening.
This is a true bringing together of local food and drink fanatics who perhaps want to feel more integrated with the Portsmouth community. Perhaps you’re keen to find out more about beer or you’re just curious to know what a new venue is like if you’ve never been before, maybe you’ve been before to one of our epic beer tasting nights so you’re back for more fun, or you just simply want a good reason to enjoy an evening out with friends and loved ones.
We’ll have six incredible new releases of craft beer to taste, each one with its own style. Crisp, bold, hazy, punchy, maybe even a little rebellious with a style you’ve never tried before.
Adding to the experience, we’ll also have a surprise guest appearance from a brewery, joining us on the night to talk through one of their newly-released beers, giving you a rare chance to hear the story behind the brew directly from the brewer.
And because it’s a Thursday at Croxtons, their £1 burger deal will be running alongside the event. Buy one burger at full price and get a second for just £1 (no fries included).
What beer will reign supreme? Only you decide.
