How does music influence our tastebuds? What do you get when you combine ale and music, two of Britain’s most celebrated recreational pursuits? British Beer Writer of the year, Pete Brown, is on a mission to find out!
As part of Bristol Food Connections, Pete will teach participants, “How to Drink with Your Ears” in an experiment at the Tobacco Factory Theatre bar on Friday, May 2.
Pete has conducted years of cutting edge research into how music influences what we taste as we listen, through a fusion of synaesthesia, taste bud analysis and published academic aural research.
Pete will prove how different styles of music affect our taste buds in a unique living experiment where guests will discover whether or not IPA is best enjoyed with late seventies new wave or classical music; and show how the taste of Worthington White Shield is affected variously by Debussy and Elbow. It is the result of several years’ of research by award-winning beer writer Pete Brown and brings together cutting edge research into how our music influences what we taste as we listen.
How To Drink With Your Ears is supported by Bristol Beer Factory and The Tobbacco Factory Theatre and the ticket price includes six to eight taster beers. Advanced booking is required.
