Brewery tours & festivals

[illmonkey]

After a festival (or even a good tour) for Real Ale, for a stag do. June is preferred. Don't mind a bit of travel from Oxford.

If its a tour, I'd need to be a fairly big/long one with a bar at the end to sink a few. I've been to a few and I've left within 20 minutes.

Any one been to any, good/bad?

Oxford? You're not far from Hook Norton brewery! Or Purity up the road in Warwickshire if you wanted to head north.

Great fun, very informal and a wonderful Bbq too.

I'm after more real life feedback. These places can sound good, but be crap in reality.

if you want to go out in London, Fullers in chiswick is a great tour.

Get to Masham in the Dales.

Well out of London but you can do a brewery crawl and visit Theakstons and then Black Sheep. Both do good tours and you can do an ale tasting at both.

Black country? There are several Bostin real ale breweries, loads of pubs, and beer bus tours. Depends as well how many there are, how much you want to spend, and what other activities you want to do.


Edit, just seen the above link, and both wolvo and bromsgrove festivals are in June, both good, although I'd say bromsgrove had the edge, nicer town, etc. there's a hotel nearby next to a good pub called the ladybird - its within crawling distance!
