Drinks specialist and founder Jehad Hatu will be pairing the spirit with different beers - sometimes in the same glass - in the tasting series that will feature popular Scottish brand Pickering's.

Jehad said: “I know it sounds crazy, but you need to trust us on this one.

“We’ve tried several different pairings, and we know what doesn’t work, but more importantly, we’ve nailed the pairings that do work!”

During the tasting, attendees will be given three different beers that have been carefully paired with three different gins.

Jehad added: "You’ll get to drink them as a 'half and half', a gin and beer cocktail, or both, if you like.

"The pairings have been designed to complement, accentuate or contrast the flavours in both the gin and the beer."

Described as the "perfect festive night out with friends, family or work colleagues" tickets are priced at £15 per person, or only £10.95 each when you buy five or more tickets and use the discount code WeLoveSanta.
