CIDER Masterclass with Ashley Huntington of 2 Metre Tall and Campbell Burton of Public Wine Shop Tuesday 25/11/25
Please join us on Tuesday the 25/11/25 for a tasting and masterclass on one of our very favourite topics, artisanal cider.
We’ll be joined by one of the great scholars of the Australian beverage industry, farmer, brewer and winemaker Ashley Huntington of Derwent Valley brewery Two Metre Tall, whose own fascination with fermented fruit rivals that of anyone we know.
Founders of one of the most ambitious projects in the contemporary Australian beverage landscape, Ashley and Jane Huntington brew wild beer and make cider on their farm west of Hobart and today bottle beer from a solera system that is not only decades in the making but of international significance.
As highly vocal and enthusiastic promoters of wild fermentation, Ashley and Jane have long shared our great passion for wines made fruit other than grapes and it will be our enormous pleasure to have Ashley at Public to share many years worth of stories and experiences of agriculture and fermentation.
On the evening we’ll be tasting through a range of ciders from some of the most astute producers in France, Spain, Switzerland, The United States and, of course, Australia and discussing the influence of soil, climate, culture and the human element of arguably our favourite gastronomic beverage.
For anyone interested in the limitless topic of fermentation, this will be a highly valuable opportunity to meet one of the most entertaining minds in Australian beer, cider and wine.
As always, snacks will be provided by the kitchen team.
