What a fantastic place. A wonderful venue with great spaces inside and out. Our guide Rhian was brilliant, she was friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and a true asset to the company. Great to hear they are keen on keeping the heritage of the building alive and so committed to running a sustainable business. The best part... they brew great beer which you get to taste, all served up with a bite to eat.

Although there were only two of us, the tour took place. The guide was great and made the experience even better for us. We booked the tour in English and were well informed about the brewing process and the history of the brewery.

It was super interesting! The tour guy was amazing! But the best part was the food and beer! 100% recommend!
