We loved this tour. Leon is funny and informative. Lots of interesting Victorian machinery in good working condition. All the beer you want to drink at the end of the tour, with free souvenir glasses. Lovely to see the shire horses. Great shop and restaurant on site.

A beautiful building with a rich history, that was fully explained by our very knowledgeable guide, on our brewery tour. The onsite facilities are high quality, with a large brewery shop, and cafe. A small museum above the gift shop offers a glimpse of the history of the brewery, together with a display of the historical items from the village of Hook Norton as well.

Had a great trip around the brewery yesterday and our guide Terry was very knowledgeable about everything. To see the old Victorian machinery was a delight, hope it remains in production for many years to come. A real gem of history still working today. Fabulous museum, gift shop and restaurant (although we didn't eat there).

We had a wonderful experience visiting this part of living English history. A tour through the brewery is a must - our tour guide Keith did a great job explaining how brewing is practiced here and how tration is kept alive. You don't need to be a beer drinker or brewer to enjoy, but it is an added bonus!

Three friends and I did the brewery tour yesterday. Dave our tour guide was fantastic and we all thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of the brewery and how things have changed (or not) in the brewing process. Then finally the opportunity to taste the wonderful selection of beers. Highly recommended.

I can't rate this place highly enough. Over the last 30 or so years, we've done many brewery and distillery tours and this is by far the best of them all. Our guide Chris, was great - very friendly, knowledgeable and interesting and gave us all time to appreciate what we were being shown. The entire brewery is basically a working museum and a look back to how things were 120+ years ago. The stars of the show though were definitely the gorgeous shire horses - Nelson, Brigadier and Balmoral, seeing them in their stables and out being trained to pull the dray was fantastic. To top it off, the tour finishes with a half hour tasting session where you can sample whatever you want and are also given a free souvenir glass, the Hooky and Haymaker ales were absolutely fantastic. If you're in the area and appreciate real ale or working / living history then this place is a must visit!

Did the brewery tour over the bank holiday weekend and thoroughly enjoyed. Tour guide was very informative and really clear to see the effort that has been made to preserve the history and as much of the old machinery as possible, lots of which is still in use. The beer tasting at the end in a mock pub was also a nice touch. We also stayed for lunch which was nice enough and bought from the shop which had a nice selection of various items from across the Cotswolds as well as the house beer selection.

If breweries are your thing then Hook Norton should be on you list. The brewery tour was informative and set at a good pace. Great to see some of the original technology working alongside the new. A real bonus to see the steam engine running. The visitor centre contains a museum of the brewery and the local community and if you're hungry it's well worth staying for something to eat.
