What travelers are saying
- TartanTam2Tayside48 contributionsBooked the 'brew it yourself' experience after a friend recommended it, and the 4 of us rocked up with an open mind how the day would go.
We took a couple of bottles with us as we were looking for an Oktoberfest session Lagerbier, and Nathan and his buddy did a tasting with us to try to nail down the flavour profile. Their palate, nose and knowledge was very impressive, and they explained every step of the process.
You are back a few times into the Bar & Pizza kitchen during the process but that is fine as you get done actual beer tokens to try some of the numerous beers on tap.
We loved the interaction, learning about how beer is made, picking our style, grains, hops, flavour and aroma over a 3 hour period.
We stayed a bit after, had some AMAZING 🍕 as well. Looking forward going back in a few weeks for the bottling session, but just wanted to say I cannot recommend this experience enough, and you getca pule of your own beer at the end AND you design your own beer label.
It will mot be the last time we do this, amazing day, products and staff.Written August 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Alex and Ellis were brilliant, told us interesting facts about beer making and the whole brewing process. Really cool to see how dedicated they are to making something special. And we got to taste so many of the beers - delicious! We’ll def be searching for them in the Netherlands. Thanks for the great afternoon guys!Written February 22, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Protraveller5_11Edinburgh, UK285 contributionsThis is a rare opportunity to see a working brewery that shows a real history of brewing and how technology is changing. The tour is very interesting for real beer enthusiasts, probably not for those with little interest. Good way to spend a rainy hour or two.Written August 29, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
