The Morning Advertiser Beer Roundtable

The ‘More Than Only Food & Drink’ campaign is delighted to announce its participation in The Morning Advertiser Beer Roundtable, taking place on 18 November 2025 at The Kensington Arms, a gastropub in Bristol known for its modern British cuisine and welcoming atmosphere. 

Organised in partnership with The Morning Advertiser - the UK’s leading trade publication for the pub and bar industry - this exclusive event will bring together ten UK beer professionals and pub operators for an engaging discussion and tasting experience exploring how distinctive EU beers can help operators create a smarter, more dynamic offer on the bar. 

Under the theme “The Art of Pouring: Exploring Europe’s Finest Beer Traditions” the roundtable will address key opportunities and challenges currently facing the pub sector. Topics will include product range, pricing strategies, staff training, and innovative ways to attract younger and more curious consumers while maintaining quality and profitability. 

The discussion will be co-hosted by The Morning Advertiser editor Ed Bedington and renowned beer expert, author and More Than Only Food & Drink campaign advisor Mark Dredge. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of European beer traditions, Mark will guide the conversation by introducing a range of EU beers, highlighting their craftsmanship, quality, and diversity. 

Following the roundtable, guests will enjoy lunch and guided beer tasting, offering participants the opportunity to explore the unique flavours of EU beers and how they can enrich the modern pub experience. 

The event will also spotlight the EU’s quality schemes, in particular Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) and Organic certification products, examples of which will be presented at the event. These labels safeguard authenticity, promote sustainability, and guarantee high production standards. 

By participating in The Morning Advertiser Beer Roundtable, the More Than Only Food & Drink campaign continues its mission to showcase the excellence, safety, and innovation of EU agri-food and drink products to UK trade professionals.
