Back at the Brewery Tap, your guide will talk you through the current beer line-up and pour three third-pint tasters to enjoy in the cosy indoor space or in the courtyard.

I visited the brewery back at the end of October. We were guided round and told all about the farm, it's history and the full workings and history of the brewery, very informative and the fella that showed us round (whose name escapes me now) was wonderfully knowledgeable about what was produced and how it was done. We sampled the majority of the stock in the tap room afterwards and came home with a very priced case of beer which I am enjoying most nights. I have been told they do mail order and will making another order after Christmas. Vital spark and highlander being my favourites.
