5.00This is the best brewery tour we’ve experienced! Others spend a lot of time on the science of brewing, which can honestly get a little boring. This tour focuses on the brewery’s fascinating history with additional information on philanthropy and other interesting topics. I liked that human experience focus. There are lots of fun interactive experiences along the way. The staff is warm, helpful, and welcoming. Getting to the brewery is an easy train ride from the city center. I highly recommend!
Awesome brewery tour steeped in history.

5.00We spent over 3 hours on the tour, which was educational and professionally presented, as well as being fun with the interactive elements, and in my opinion, great value for money. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history, processes, and science behind brewing. And the free beer at the end was a refreshing end to an excellent experience.
Self-guided brewery tour worth a visit

5.00The history & videos of the founders were really great & very interesting. The first half of the tour was really good, the branding was a little less interesting for us, although very informative in you are interested in that. The connection with Liverpool FC was great to see. Walking through the original brewery & learning about the lives of the workers was also really interesting. The interactive area was fun!! We spent 90 minutes in the exhibit & the received a free beer in the bar.
