Join flavour chemists, sensory scientists, chefs and mixologists as we take you on a taste-bud tour to unpack what is happening inside your mouth, brain and gut as you drink and eat out with friends in Fish Lane.

Why do our tastebuds desire fermented things? What is kava and why is it relaxing me? From beer and wine to fermented native-bush foods, kava sipping and lots of experiences in-between, Alchemy Afternoons invites you to question what is the science behind our keen interest for food?
