Trouble Brewing in The Loire – Tommy Barnes (Braslou Bière)

30 April

A Roseland Festival 2026 Event

The infamous Braslou Bière has returned.  Inexplicably.  Now in North Cornwall.

Join brewer and bestselling author Tommy Barnes for a wildly entertaining talk about what happens when you move to rural France, decide to start a brewery, and realise (slightly too late) that you don’t actually know how to brew beer.  Expect big dreams, cultural chaos, and a steady slide from “great idea”, into “waist deep in catastrophe”.

Tommy will share the full Braslou story, along with tales from his acclaimed books A Beer in The Loire and Trouble Brewing in The Loire, both shortlisted for the Fortnum & Mason Food and Drink Awards.

There’ll be Braslou beer available on the night too, so you can taste the results of the mayhem.

A funny, honest, beer-soaked tale of risk, reinvention, and rural reality.
