THE TASTING

A Guided Flight of Five Distinct Beers

The tour concludes with a seated tasting of five beers that spans the core range, limited releases and pilot batches—an organised tasting that ties the brewing discussion to what’s in the glass.

THE PROCESS

Brewery Walkthrough and Tank Tastings

Groups are led through the brewery to discuss each stage of the brewing process; when possible the guide shares beers at different stages directly from the tank, illustrating how flavour and chemistry evolve.

THE FORMAT

Small, Intimate Groups with a Welcome Beer

The tour is run in small groups that begin with a welcome beer and a sit‑down discussion covering the history of beer, the Stone & Wood story, and the raw ingredients that shape each brew.

What the day feels like

What the visit actually feels like

Expect a tightly paced 90‑minute session that opens with a welcome beer, moves into a classroom‑style discussion of beer and ingredients, then shifts onto the brewery floor for a practical look at production and occasional tank samples, and finishes with a guided tasting that ties the technical details back to flavour.
