Cheese guru James Grant and internationally renowned beer writer Des de Moor are teaming up at this year's Festival to offer a special session, guiding you through the delicious world of beer and cheese matching.
You will be able to sample a range of high quality, artisan cheeses, all with distinct flavours, aromas, textures and appearances all from James' celebrated Buckinghamshire delicatessen No2 Pound Street. These will be paired with generous pours of four different superb beers, specially selected by Des to pair with the cheeses.
James is an award-winning cheese expert who has worked in some of the UK's most prestigious establishments. He travels the length and breadth of the UK to find, taste and bring back to the local area some of the finest artisan cheese the country has to offer.
Des is an author of many beer-related books, including London's Best Beer, Pubs and Bars. His latest award-winning title, Cask, explains what makes live draught beer special, and explores its past, present and future.
Both will be talking and answering questions about their careers and their adventures in their respective fields.
