Great tour, recommended - Great afternoon at the XXXX brewery tour, interesting to see how the whole process of beer is made and the history of XXXX itself, the staff and tour guide were friendly and knowledgeable, some great drinks after the tour and food from the restaurant was fantastic and I recommend adding it to the tour, also cheap beer/lager which is always a bonus.

Good as Gold! - Had a great time, Ken was very informative, only thing was we wished the plant was operating when we’re were there, but do understand why it wasn’t for safety reasons.

A great experience - A really interesting tour led by a retired employee who had lived and breathed the brewery for decades. And very generous with the beer tasting afterwards! Great facilities, including a full bar and kitchen. The Wagu burgers and Chicken Parmi were excellent

Do not waste your $$$$ - Very poor Signs at front of building were poor so was late Explained booked for 4 but only 2 could come on day as overnight two people tested positive to COVID Tried to call brewery to explain this but couldn’t get through on phone When arrived asked give we had paid for extra who could not attend could we use funds towards meal instead of refund - was told by one staff member this should be fine and could work something out to return from tour to ascertain this was not possible but another staff member stated he would give us a discount on meal. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY NO UNDERSTANDING OR OFFER OF ASSISTANCE RIP OFF
