On May 17, Tate Modern is hosting an evening of engaging talks by some of the UK's most exceptional authors paired with limited-edition craft beer from Track, Beak and Verdant.

Renowned authors, including Eliza Clarke, the Newcastle-born author of Boy Parts, David Keenan from Glasgow (known for This is Memorial Device and For the Good Times), and Rose Boyt, daughter of Lucien Freud and author of Naked Portrait, will be sharing their insights at this one-off literary event. Enjoy their talks while sipping on limited-edition beers from three leading craft breweries – Track (Manchester), Beak (Lewes, East Sussex) and Verdant (Cornwall).

The talks, led by Stone Club's Matthew Shaw, start at 6 p.m. and end at 9:15 p.m. Matthew Shaw, an artist from Cornwall, specialises in photography, sound, and film. He has collaborated with various artists and venues on performances and installations, including Barbican, Glastonbury Festival, and The Social.

The Corner Bar will host a Tap Takeover featuring beers from three breweries, while Justin Robertson will provide music until late. The bar will remain open to the public until 11:00 p.m., with ticketed talks including a flight of beers. Attendees will also receive a can of Beak's new IPA Biblio.
