Ultimate brewing experience
We suggest casual comfortable clothing suitable for a working environment. We recommend wearing closed shoes and avoiding baggy items and jewellery. The brewing area can also be quite cold at times, so please be prepared to ‘wrap up’ in the winter months. The brewing process involves dealing with raw ingredients including water, malt, hops and yeast. As such, there is a possibility your clothing may get wet and/or dusty. Whilst we don’t offer dedicated changing facilities, our accessible WC can be used for changing when required.
That’s up to you! Your experience includes breakfast, lunch, refreshments and two pints of cask ale. There are no other additional costs on the day, however many of our guests choose to use their guest discount to purchase additional beers and merchandise from our well-stocked bottle shop. We accept all major debit/credit cards.
