    Wonderful place to see the background to brewing from the early days. The guide is very knowledgeable and courteous. You get a bottle of beer during your tour. At the end you have 2 free drinks from the SAB range with a snack. Make sure you try the Castle Milk Stout Chocolate. It's an amazing drink from the Castle range. Have a great time, cheers! You also get to keep the glasses for free.

    The tour was amazing and actually not at all what I expected. There were very interesting facts and it was an experience that taught me a lot about not only beer, but culture and history as well. Loved the free glasses and drinks vouchers too!
