About
Craft Brewery Tour, Beer Tasting and Lunch
Do you like beer? Let the experts at multi-award-winning Hillside Brewery in the glorious Forest of Dean share some of the secrets to creating delicious beer on a 3.5 hour Cotswold Craft Brewery Tour, Beer Tasting and Lunch.
The groups of 6-60 aficionados will be entertained by one of the founding family members of Hillside Brewery. You’ll hear all about the origins of beer, smell, taste and touch the ingredients, and, of course, enjoy four refreshing beers too: a Pale Ale with honey and citrus flavours, Best Bitter with caramel notes and a fruity finish, Ruby Ale with rich caramel and toffee flavours and a Dark Mild with smooth roasted and chocolate notes to tantalise your taste buds.
Next, guests will take a fascinating tour of the Brew House and Bottling Room at the 40 acre farm surrounded by picturesque countryside in Longhope to watch the process in action, with everything at this micro-brewery done by hand.
Finally, you’ll sit down to a tasty two-course meal featuring local foods, cooked on site and served in the newly converted Hop Barn, finishing with a cup of tea or coffee and a nice slice of cake.
