You will then follow the gravitational brewing process down through the levels of the brewery, viewing the original Mash Tuns, Hop Back & open Copper on your way through.

En route you will see a contrast of old and new, with the next stop being the 21st Century Copper House to see how technology has develped. Wadworth host a range of wooden casks are handcrafted*, followed by a short stroll to our Award winning Shire Horses and stables.

We'll then take you around our Sign Writing Studio where all the signs for our 250 pubs are hand painted in the traditional way. Once you have experienced the science and skill that go into our beers (and have worked up a thirst!), we invite you to our Mezzanine Bar for a tutored beer tasting session.
