Brewing For Biodiversity And Social Change

Join Tom, the founder of Old Tree Brewery CIC for a story of how fermentation, foraging and agroforestry can combine to re-nature our agri-culture and create regenerative livelihoods. Tom will share ten years of learning from brewing with perennial and wild plants — creating circular systems that connect soil, gut health and community. From compost to kombucha, craft drinks to living soil, to the planting of Drink Forest Gardens: discover how the botanical brewery providing the ORFC bar is working to reverse monocultures and realign what we drink with what sustains life! Come along, learn how to get involved, then join us for more drinks in the Main Hall later.
