Brewery tours & brewery museum
Brewery tours are available Monday to Friday. School educational parties are welcome and are free of charge.
Tours start from the Visitors Centre and last approximately 2 hours. They consist of a trip around the Brewery, museum and village museum, followed by beer sampling. On leaving you will receive a badged glass as a memento of your visit.
Regretfully the Brewery itself is not suitable for people with walking difficulties or children under 12. However, the shop and reception area is able to cater for both, and disabled visitors.
The brewer’s craft is rooted in antiquity and many of its secrets are on view for all to see at the Hook Norton Visitors’ Centre and brewery museum. Anyone wandering through this astonishing display quickly realises that traditional methods have survived for sound, practical reasons. You can also witness the working steam engine on the ground floor of the brewery itself.

Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm
Saturdays from 9.30am to 4.30pm
