What happens during a brewery experience day?

Well, have you ever wanted to spend a Saturday making and tasting beer? We will take you through the process from start to finish, explaining the science behind crafting recipes and the natural microbes at work. You can do everything - from mashing the grain, adding the hops, to pitching the yeast. Plus, we are just 200m from Laurencekirk train station, with regular trains going South to Montrose and North to Aberdeen.

A few weeks after the brew day, you get a case of the beer that you made! (Collection from the brewery or delivery to be paid on the brew day) It's a full day (from 10 AM to 5 PM), so we will make sure you are well watered and fed. Experiences are limited to 10 guests, so make sure you book early if you have a big group.

Gift vouchers are available to buy online or in store.

Already have a group of friends you'd like to brew with? Private group events can be arranged. Email info@burnsidebrewery.co.uk, give us a call or contact us via our website. Perfect for: - birthdays - stag or hen parties - corporate events - reunions - anybody who loves beer. If your brew day is a stag or hen party, we can also provide some of the beer you've helped make for your wedding (if it is at least 4 weeks after the brewery day).

After you've booked, you will receive a confirmation email from us. Full joining instructions for the day will be sent to you via email nearer the event. Feel free to familiarise yourself with the brewing process before you get here.


If you book a place on a specific date and want to give it as a gift, please let us know that you would like us to send you a gift voucher for the experience.
