They do it every two years around the same time but they do do a brewery members tour night every first/second Tuesday of everymonth.

Well seeing as there's very little interest more free booze for me

Sounds good, but isn't it illegal to do the free booze thing now?
If I was local, I'd go. What's their beer like, never heard of them.

They do some Good strong ales very tasty and a couple of Ale/Lager Hybrids which are also quite good brews very hoppy.

Yeah, I got muddled up. I forgot England existed for a while, it would be illegal up here but believe it's still fine down there. We've got different (worse) licensing laws because we can't be trusted.

Can't see any information about postage, otherwise I'd buy a bottle to give it a go. Love trying regional, microbrewery, beers.

They had a quite weak ale called Double Dip (after the recession) on at the Uxbridge Wetherspoons a few months ago. Went down rather nicely.
