Very interesting afternoon, with some tasty beer and cheese thrown in!

I bought the brewery experience as a Christmas present for my Uncle and a friend. They had a really enjoyable afternoon, met some great people and found the visit very informative. The bottles they bought before leaving have gone down very nicely! We would highly recommend others book this experience.

Guided beer and cheese Pairing Experience

Purchased this for hubby and myself and I'm so pleased I did. What a great experience. Tried various beers and cheese. Fantastic few hours. And learnt alot. Would highly recommend. It's something different to do together so if you are looking for an idea for a treat book this. You won't regret it. Am already going to organise a few friends to go again.

I highly recommend this business

I highly recommend this business. Their customer service is second to none.

The coffee and pastries quality is consistently outstanding, exceeding my expectations every time.I was completely impressed with their professionalism and customer service.

Pastries have been yet the best I had. I would definitely recommend to pop in if around the location. The Brew Lab itself is beautifully done and atmosphere is great. Thanks to Arvind and Renata.

It’s a 10/10.

Would I vouch for Brewlab? Definitely a big yes!

Having taken the 10 week course and learning from an experienced set of people in Brewlab has been extremely refreshing! Brewlab will help you every step of the way even until after the course is over and it is something which I really appreciate! They teach you everything you need to know fundamentally about brewing which gives you the confidence and knowledge needed to progress further as a brewer. Everyone here is extremely kind & helpful and will go out of their way to assist you which definitely exceeds expectations for any course you have ever come across!

A thank you note.

I had one of my best experiences at Brewlab learning from knowledgable & experienced set of people and they are Brian, Keith, Alison, Julio, Piero, Graham & Dave. They teach you everything right from inception to actually making your own beer in a proffessional way. Every week you work on 25L brewkit, that simulates the working of the bigger kits. There is also a business & marketing module to get you starting your own micro brewery. Richard, the co-ordination Manager, is extremely kind & helpful to source ingedients required for the beers or anything at all, he gives you full service going out of his way. Sarah, Caroline, Laura, Suzanne provide the final touch. Thankyou Brewlab. I did not expect this outcome, definitely was more than my expectations. Love you all.

Great experience on practical brewing course

I made the 3 weeks course of practical brewing certificate. I came from Israel.
The experience was just brilliant!
Beside the high level of studying we also experienced a lot of practical brewing, both in house and in commercial breweries.
The staff made everything to fulfill our time with a lot of pleasure by taking us to trips or just meet in a bar for a beer.
Everything was well organized include a great accommodation.

Brewlab is the best place to get the training in brewing.

I finished a 3 day brewery course and I can say that it is absolutely amazing course. I've got more information than I was hoping. All the lecturers were specialist in their field. If I pursue carrier in brewing Brewlab will be the place for me to go back to get more knowledge.
