Amazing Experience A Must for ALL Beer lovers!
Amazing day we had at the Brewhouse & Kitchen Gloucester, Dave head brewer and Tom his trainee were really knowledgeable and really got you involved. You get hands on with every stage and learn to set paths for the liquor to flow in to the kettle, the joy of emptying the mash tin, plus most of all tasting the many samples through out the day. A Must for All Beer Lovers

Really good Day Out!
The brewery experience was better than I had expected.....not being a beer drinker and was fascinating to see the way the beer (American IPA in this instance) is brewed. The fact the mini brewery is in the middle of the pub makes it quite interesting as well. Tasting various brews they produce was interesting as well. The two guys showing us the works were friendly, knowledgeable and good company. It was hands on at times rather than just standing and watching. The 5litre keg was nice!

Perfect day / great experience
Our host and brewer was Felix, who was superb throughout the day. His knowledge and enthusiasm really made the difference and we were provided with many types of beer, all if which were excellent. The location was ideal and nice pub environment, i will definitely be going back here to drink more of their beer.

Brewery Experience Day
This was a great day and I was well looked after and taken through the brewing process, with different beers to taste at each stage. The 5 litre keg to take away at the end was welcome too. I was initially disappointed to be the only person on that day, but it meant I had plenty of time to get my questions answered! Very good experience overall!

Amazing day - Would Recommend To Everybody!
Took my mate to the brewery day at Brewhouse & Kitchen in Bedford for his 40th birthday and had an amazing day. We were immediately given a half pint of beer on arrival (coffee was also available!) and this was repeated throughout the day - our glasses were never empty! We had the pleasure of 2 fantastic teachers, Rich & Caitlin, who spent the day showing us how to brew the beer that was to be sold in the pub 2 weeks later. To top it off, a keg of beer to take home too. A memorable day out!

A great day, well organised in a great pub/restaurant micro brewery. Caitlin was our brewer and was very knowledgeable and got us involved in every step of the brewing process. We had breakfast with beer and several more beers before during and after lunch with Caitlin telling us what they were, what type of beer they were and what was in it. We came away full tipsy to say the least but having learnt lots about beer. a great day!

An excellent day all.round
This was evidently not a typical day as it was the brewer's last day working there. So he seemed to be much more liberal than normal with the tastings - we were brought half pints of different beers every 30-40 mins! Hard work though pitching the malt, stirring and raking out afterwards. Also went on 2 hours past scheduled finish (with more beer!)

Absolutely brilliant day at the brewery!
There were four of us on our experience and it was a fantastic mix of brewing and socialising. Oliver, the resident Master Brewer, had only been there for 3 weeks but really knew his stuff and his knowledge and passion for brewing made the day even more enjoyable.

Everything you need to know about beer.
Spent a great day with Head Brewer Greg and his Apprentice Allana learning about all aspects of beer and how it is brewed. This is a hands on experience involves actually making a batch of beer in the onsite brewery around which a busy London pub runs. The B&K Team were very welcoming and as well as being an educational experience there was plenty of opportunity to sample from the 26 beers available in the pub. Excellent breakfast and lunch catering make this a must for any beer enthusiast.

Great Beer Experience - Poole.
My son & I were greeted by our Head Brewer Ryhs & his apprentice Ross. A full day was made a very rewarding experience by both these guy's, who were very informative of the whole brewing process & knew their trade. Both my son & I assisted with various parts of the brewing sequence, which just added to the day. Breakfast, lunch & numerous beer samples through out, helped the quieter periods slip by. Departing with a 5 litre keg of beer of our own choice rounded off a very enjoyable experience.

Andy the Brewer made the day, he was a great host, clearly explained the process and involved my son & I in every stage. We were lucky that it was only the 2 of us on the day but really appreciated the hospitality and attention to detail. Great day with the chance to understand the whole brewing process & sample a verity of super beer 🍻

Head Brewer Riaz made the experience!
We spent the day beer making with the head brewer Riaz. We arrived and he was so welcoming. Greeted us with a drink and introduced the rest of the group to us. We got straight to it and he had us measuring all our beer ingredients. Riaz knew exactly what he was doing, teaching us all about everything beer. And to make it even better we live in another country and they have promised to ship the beer to us. Highly recommend the day

Brewer for the day.
A great day out and very informative. The Head Brewer gave a full a comprehensive run down on the process and all the ingredients used. This is not done on a formal class room setting and there is an element of manual work and on the job training (all very light hearted).

Fantastic day
What a fantastic day. We were made really welcome by all the staff and well looked after. The day was really interesting and informative. Alex the head brewer made us so welcome and was very knowledgeable about his craft talking us through every stage of the process. We can't thank him enough. He gave us the opportunity to get really hands on and answered every question we asked. The bacon butties, lunch and beer tasting were great too. All in all a great day. We would definitely recommend.

Beer....A whole new world brilliant
What a fantastic day. Our master brewer was amazing made us feel at home from the start, meet and greet done, brief heads up then in to the mash, heads bursting with new information from the start. O and a breakfast bun...with beer, then the boil...more beer and lunch, beer can chicken a must. More beer then the fermentation more beer job done. Raining outside, a great way to see off a wet day Saturday. The beer drunk was all from brews made on site, half pints, just brilliant, thank you

The best brewing experience ever!
The brewery experience was sublime and the food was delicious, but the best part of the day was played by Matt, the Head Brewer. We all had a laugh from beginning to end and the 7-hour day flew by. Matt is very knowledgeable about his craft and left me excited at the idea of brewing for myself, albeit on a much smaller scale. Well done! Thanks again must go to Matt and the rest of the team who made my day one of the most enjoyable I've ever had - and I'm 60!

Great day out
I cannot speak highly enough of this brewery experience. Our host, Felix, was so passionate and knowledgeable about the whole process. The day it’s self start with a nice cup of tea or coffee while you went through the order of the day. The you we’re guided to the the micro brewery which takes up a small section of the bar. Throughout the day you get involved with the mixing and transfers from one vessels to another while sampling various beers and enjoy breakfast and lunch.

In a pub brewhouse - excellent way to spend a day!
Interesting day spent in the company of the brewer (and a few other guests) in an interesting pub bar - the brewery is open to the rest of the pub. Informative and inclusive host answered all our questions and invited us to assist him with various tasks as he went about that day's real-time brewing - contract brewing an 800 litre batch of pale ale. Croissants, tea or coffee on arrival, multiple tasters (circa 1/3 pt) during day, a full pint with lunch (menu choice). Left happy with a 5 litre keg

7 hours in a pub, 800 pints and still standing
This was a 60th birthday present from my son and my wife and I were the only ones there on the day. Andy, the head brewer, took us through the whole of the brewing process throughout the day and we were able to have lots of hands on time. The food and beer tasting during the day allowed us to refuel ahead of more work and gave us an idea of which was our preferred beer to take away at the end of the day. We brewed 800 pints of Constable bitter during the day and had a fantastic experience.

Really enjoyed this
This was a birthday present. I really enjoyed it, we were well looked after, beer and food were good and were learned something. This is better than other brewery tours I've done in that you get the opportunity to participate, obviously some under supervision. The price can look a little dear at face value but when you look at what you get, it's not bad at all. I'd happily go back!

Excellent day spent learning to brew
The Head Brewer, Andy, spent the whole day taking us through how they brewed a specific beer, in our case it was the Knight Light stout. Sampled many beers that had been brewed onsite too. Very enjoyable day, and we got ourselves involved in quite a lot of the process. Would recommend.

Could not have enjoyed this more as 8 of us joined Head Brewer Steve. It was fun and informative. we got to do loads of hands-on and Steve answered any number of of queries. As just started home brewing - invaluable insights including from other customers on the Experience. Got to taste some exceptional beers and we helped make a proper brew to be served in the Pub in the New Year. Looking forward to opening my mini-keg. Thanks Steve

Had fun learning
I was one of three people helping brew a stout whilst having several tasters and being fed throughout the day. The other two were excellent company. We started with putting the grain in and adding the hot liquor and finished with storing the result in a fermenter for about a week. The head brewer spent the whole day with us , he was informative and also challenged our understanding and preconceptions.
