Team function or Christmas party

An excellent option for your Christmas party or team building event. We offer catering options and a guided beer tasting, on top of the full brewing experience. We cater for up to 16 groups of three (48 people in total) plus we have space in the bar for extra people as well. It's a great way to celebrate the end of the year and do some team building at the same time, plus you get all that beer you've made as a bonus.

Brew for your wedding, stag do or hen party

Choose from of our signature brews or work with one of our in-house brewers to design your own special brew. The beer can be served at your wedding day bottled or kegged. Brewing the beer also makes a great bachelor/bachelorette outing and we can cater for groups small and large.

Corporate gifts

How about something a bit different for your clients and staff this year? Choose from one of our 20 recipes or design a bespoke brew with our in-house brewers. Bottle the beer, design a label using your company logo and give away to your clients and staff as a special end of year gift.
