Southampton Brewery Experience

Brewery Experience Days: For any beer lovers out there, this experience is just the thing for you. Spending a day developing and crafting your own beer, whilst sampling a range of deliciously dark and wonderfully pale ales throughout the day– what more could you want? This unique gift experience will be one to remember.

Upon arrival at the brewery, you will join your brewing group to enjoy a hearty start to the day with a traditional bacon butty. A choice of tea or coffee will be available to wash it down and perk you up for a day of intense beer making duties. You will first receive an introduction to the brewery by the head brewer. You will then be taken through all the technical aspects of the brewing process before beginning the challenge for yourself! Throughout the day you will learn and understand the processes used to create the perfect pint. Sparging, mashing and boiling are all key aspects of the beer making method, which you will be getting hands on with. You don’t need to already be a beer creating expert, this course is perfect for beginners as everything will be explained by your head brewer. When you need a break to refresh, you can head to the pub to cool off with a cold beer with your choice of lunch from their main menu. Once you are fed and rejuvenated, it is time to head back to the brewing process and perfect your final product!

The brew day lasts for around 7 hours and in this time you will have gained a whole range of expert knowledge on beer brewing. Not only will you be tasting both in-house and international beers and ales throughout the day, but you will also have the chance to take home your very own mini keg of beer (worth around £25.00). Or if you'd prefer, you are able to return 2 weeks later once the brewing process has been completed, to collect a mini-keg of the brew made by your very hands.

This experience is a great gift for anybody that enjoys a fine crafted ale or would want to create their very own!
