In fact, with a trained guide, you’ll be able to follow the entire brewing process: from blending the ingredients, through filling the casks, to the craft of the cooper as straight pieces of oak are formed into curved staves to create a sublime vessel that holds a precise measure of beer.
You can chat to the people behind the beer, ask any questions, or simply soak up the atmosphere of the brewer's art.
The tours can be surprisingly thirsty work.
So you'll also be invited to have a pint and enjoy the authentic taste of British beer at its best in the brewery tap, warmed by the inevitable real fire.
