gsm1968 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Non of the above for me, I tend to go for local breweries like Skinners and Rock also like a couple of the St. Austell stuff. +1 Skinners Make some top ales, Pennycomequick is the best in the world Just IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyb Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Shall we set a date? The other option is the Tring Brewery... but that wont suit the men of Essex so well, or we could do it up North Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I would definitely be up for Tring as well, as they are great beers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 As long as they do tours late afetrnoon and there is public transport close by it is do'able I wouldn't worry about essex people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Blimey... Tring Brewery Tours Tring Brewery Tours provide you with a great opportunity to discover just how we brew our award winning ales. The tours usually take place on a Thursday evening and require pre-booking. We can cater for parties between 15 - 50 people. Tours commence at 7.00pm and typically end around 10.30pm, during which time you will be given a full tour of the brewery to learn about the brewing process. The "bar" will be open for sampling before and after the tour and also provides a focal point for a fish and chip supper (vegetarian options available), all for £17.50 per head. PLEASE NOTE WE ARE ALMOST BOOKED FOR 2011!!!...HOWEVER WE MAY BEGIN OFFERING ADDITIONAL TOURS ON AN ALTERNATIVE WEEKDAY. PLEASE DROP US A LINE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.

Zapp Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 We could always do the Carlsberg "Brewery" (factory) at Northampton.... It's where they make Special Brew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 AFAIK the nearest tube for the Fullers one is Parsons Green... which is walking distance. As for Tring... there is a mainline station (Tring).. but it's about a 1.5 mile walk / cab ride from the Brewery.... If we can get an idea of numbers for the Tring one I'll try and organise it?

Raja Clavata Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Emergencies excepted, I am up for a brewery tour Edited January 26, 2011 by Raja Clavata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcatsplat Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) I'd be well up for some cheeky beer tasting fun - Fullers would be a winner for me. Tring would be a chuckle, but the trains going back to Euston at 10.30 are an hour apart and a 50 mins journey. Add the journey back to sunny Essex and it's a bit much for a school night. Just to throw another into the ring - Howsabout the Meantime brewery in Greenwich or the Youngs brewery in Wandsworth??

yates Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I did the transpennine real ale train tour featured in the Oz and James drink to Britian tv programme last saturday. Much better than a brewery tour. Mind you i can't remember getting home let remember what the ale tasted like.Has anyone else done this tour?
