MEET THE BREWER

Overview

Meet the Brewer – Our Top Highlight
Get hands-on with hops.

Curious about what really goes into your pint? Go beyond the surface with our Meet the Brewer experience — a 45-minute deep dive into the ancient art of beer making, guided by the very team behind the brews.

Explore how four humble ingredients — water, malt, hops, and yeast — come together to create the world’s most iconic drink. Whether you’re a die-hard beer lover, an eager home brewer, or just someone who enjoys learning something new, this behind-the-scenes session brings craft brewing to life.

What’s included

• A relaxed, hands-on 45-minute guided tour of our working, family-run brewery
• Hear the stories, ask questions, and see the process up close
• Optional tasting: a 4 x 100ml paddle from our 10 taps — or go with a glass of wine or soft drink if beer’s not your style
