  • Beer Brewing Experience – Full Day

    Beer Making Experience Days: Head to one of the many fantastic Brewhouse and Kitchen venues
    for a full day brewery experience – a brilliant behind-the-scenes
    introduction to the process of brewing the sweet amber nectar!

    The day kicks off at ten am with a drink – but not an alcoholic one
    just yet! You’ll have a cuppa and an introduction to the day, and
    then it’s time to get to work with the first stage of the process;
    mashing in. This is where the milled grains are mixed in a mash tun
    with water and heated up. When you’ve got the mash in started,
    you’ll have a bacon butty and beer tasting break while the
    professional brewer explains the chemical process that’s happening
    in the mash tun, and begins advising you on the different beer and
    ale types brewed here. Next up is the transfer, the re-circ and
    sparging – by which point you’ll probably be getting fairly hungry,
    so it’s time to break for lunch, and…yep, you guessed it, another
    beer – we think you’ve earned yourself a pint by now! After lunch
    you’ll start the boil, adding hops and kettle finings to the
    mixture. Every part of the process will be explained to you as you
    get to it, so you’ll have a really thorough understanding of
    brewing by five o’ clock, when you’ll have done the clean up and be
    ready to head home… or back into the pub for another
    well-deserved pint! Upon leaving, all participants will receive a certificate and a
    5L mini-keg of brewed beer (valued at £25) to take away on the
    day.
    If you’re a beer lover and want to know more about how the stuff is
    actually made, or you’re looking for a great gift for someone who
    appreciates a nice, cold, crisp pint of beer or 6, this full day
    brewery experience is one of our top experience gifts!
