A very friendly and informative tour that focused on the brewing process and the customer. Excellent value for money.
Thanks to Will the brewing expert who showed us the brewery and talked us through types of beer, the products used to make it (tasting malts and smelling hops) and gave us a selection of six or so beers to try covering a wide variety of styles.Interesting insight into brewing and the business.A relaxed and friendly experience, highly recommended for anyone who lives in or is visiting Windsor.
My partner discovered Windsor and Eton Brewery and has loved their brews ever since, so I bought him the tour for a Christmas present this year. The tour is a fantastic evening with beer flowing and knowledge pouring out of one of four owners who was a fountain of brewing knowledge.And to top it all his son gave us a taste of his first brew too, so all in all a brilliant evening, well worth a visit. Oh and there a castle nearby too ; )
A great tour! A great mix between a small brewery but on a slightly larger scale. Will , one of the partners gave a great tour into the intricacies of brewing and answered every question thrown at him. A bonus of 8 different beers through the tour made it ever more enjoyable!
The Windsor and Eton Brewery tour is a hidden jewel amongst the many visitor attractions in Windsor. On our visit we were guided by Paddy (one of four owners of this brewery) and his splendid assistant Milo. We had barely enough time to get into the reception area before Milo handed us a glass of the first of ten beers that we were to sample during the evening. The advice "to pace yourself" was well made! As the tour began it immediately became clear that Paddy was both knowledgeable and passionate about brewing with a fine sense of humour to add to his tales. We learnt about the toils and perseverance needed to start a brewery from scratch, the ingredients and techniques used in the production of beer and of course the finished product. Paddy's closing speech on what is wrong with the English education system "they don't teach the history of IPA" was a joy to behold. A brilliant way to spend an evening, but a couple of pieces of advice (if you intend to sample all the beers) - don't come straight from work without having eaten, and don't make any firm plans for the rest of the night, as this event may well run longer than advertised!
Recently home in Windsor from Colorado took a tour of the Brewery, it was a terrific couple of hours. Knowledgeable brewer took time to explain the process and answer questions from a couple of home brewers. Tasting was excellent, brought some home to share with the family. Highly recommend both the tour and the beer.
We came to Windsor for part of a week away and my boyfriend is really interested in beer so we decided to take a tour of the local brewery. They only run the tours at certain times so you have to pre book on the website. We arrived to a warm welcome and were introduced to members of the team. The tour included a look around the brewery as well as tasters of the beer produced. Our guide was very informative and we learned so much about the processes involved in brewing. It was really hands on as we got to taste and touch samples of ingredients that make up different flavours of beer. My boyfriend commented that it was the most comprehensive tour of a brewery he had ever been on. We tried most of the range of beers produced by the brewery and they weren't mean with pouring the tasters! It was nice to talk and share our thoughts with other members of the tour as well as the team of brewers. The tour only cost £10 each and for what you get it is excellent value! My boyfriend is only sorry we didn't get a chance to go back the next day to buy some beer! The staff were very friendly and we would definitely come back again. :D
Just a short email to tell you what a fabulous evening we had at Windsor and Eton Brewery . We had partners visiting our company from Europe, China and Malaysia and really wanted to give Them an “English” evening to remember . The evening certainly exceeded our expectations .Your enthusiasm, humour and friendliness made the tour not only interesting and informative butThoroughly enjoyable . Please convey our thanks to your team for such a memorable evening .Can't recommend this enough !Ingrid
Although knowing of Windsor & Eton Brewery for a long time (being a "Windsorian" and all) had tasted their beers on numerous occasions and being told how good the tour was by friends & work colleagues, it was only this week that my Dad, a friend, his father and I actually made it to their monthly tour : The £10 price tag more than covered the enjoyable, genuine, fun and enjoyable 2.5 session (not to mention the free flowing, varied 9 different types of ales and lager)"Highly recommended"
