Very much enjoyed our tour with Ryan who was helpful, friendly and suitably enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Most importantly - and this is not a given with brewery tours - there was as much emphasis on a proper decent time to taste and enjoy a good selection of beers as there was on walking you round the site. Really good evening.

Great tour with our entertaining & knowledgeable guide "Ryan"
who answered all our questions and was very informative
Great beers of course and sufficient samples
All very well arranged and Covid -19 friendly.
Good value for Money
The kitchen wasn.t open by the time we finished the tour so didn't have any food
The only disappointment was they closed the bar without asking us for last orders

Excellent Tour and beer tasting! 1.5 hours with about half touring the brewery and half tasting (lots of!) Beer and hearing more history and stories of brew in London. Tour guide Danny was excellent, great balance of fun and facts. Tour groups are kept small with lots of time for questions and photos. Highly recommend!

What a good brewery tour, plus we sampled a great range of interesting and well flavoured beers. Our guide, Ryan, a full-blown beer sommelier, was passionate, had an extensive knowledge about beers and brewing techniques, provided some fascinating historical perspectives and anecdotes about brewing in London and other places, in addition to being great fun. It was a most enjoyable evening for our group.

So pleased this is open again, we went in July and it was great fun and super COVID Safe. Ryan was really knowledgable and friendly, we could have easily spent all night chatting to him. They take the safety precautions carefully both being in a working brewery as well as ensuring appropriate masks and sanitation. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves Meantime or Craft Beer!

Booked for April only to have a call the day of the tour confirming there was nobody to take the tour. Rebooked for November to received an e-mail (no courtesy call this time) confirming cancelled again for the same reason. Extremely disappointed tbh.

We had a tour with Danny, amazing experience! We chose the afternoon tour, less people, we had the opportunity to see the brewery on day light while the staff was working and learnt a lot of these incredible beers. Danny was very helpful, slowed down and repeated while I was translating for my relatives, he is really knowledgeable and passionate about his job. Thanks to everyone, we definitely will be back!

Didn’t do the brewery tour - just went for beers and food. Visited as a small group of work colleagues at 6pm on Wednesday. Atmosphere, staff and service was good. Place was not overly busy but had a good few people in. Beers were excellent and highly recommended. The food was decent quality, good portion size and good value. I would definitely visit again.

Gets tour with Aussie Danny the tour lead. Very informative as we learned about both the history of meantime and the history of brewing. Fun and interactive and the tasting room was the perfect way to taste the lovely end products of that brewing process.
Highly recommend this as a fun afternoon out.

Went with my family as a birthday treat for me, and really enjoyed it. Danny the tour guide was informative and very amusing, and really made the day. Tasting the beers after the tour was great, and we carried on in the bar afterwards where we had a very tasty lunch. Highly recommended!

Hey.
Does anyone know how long the tour lasts and how much walking there is?
Written January 7, 2016
2 hours. about 30 mins of that is walking round the brewery. the other 90 is sat sampling the beer etc.
Written January 28, 2016
Suggest wait a few years as there is much ever tasting which would make the 13 yr old feel really left out and probably illegal
