Brewery Experience Days: Pint lovers in Poole, get ready for the perfect experience.
This
full day Brewery Experience allows you get behind the scenes at one
of Poole’s top brewery pubs, to learn all about the brewing
process, and even get fully involved in it yourself! Find out what
happens in the brewing process from, barley to barrell, at the
Poole Brewhouse and Kitchen.
Your day starts with a drink.
No, not a pint - it’s 10am for
goodness sake! Over a tea or coffee, you’ll have a quick
introduction to the brewery, the pub and the day ahead.
But there’s
not too much talking - you have brewing to do and soon it’s time to
get to the mash tun to start the first part of the brewing journey
- mashing in.
Don’t know what that means? Well you’ll learn!
(Spoiler alert - it’s mixing the milled grain with water and
heating it).
You’ll also learn about transferring, re-circing and
sparging, as well as ‘the boil’, and the purpose of adding hops and
kettle finings to the mix.
The professional brewers who run the
experience really know their stuff, and they’ll explain each step
of the process to you, including telling you all about the chemical
processes that go on inside the machines so you’ll gain a real
understanding of the whole process.
It's thirsty work, so fear not
- throughout the day, you'll get the chance to taste a whole range
of unique Brewhouse and Kitchen craft beers, with advice and
information from your expert.
Of course with all this hard work and
learning, you’ll also get hungry, so included in the day is a bacon
butty in the morning, as well as a tasty lunch in the pub
(accompanied by a beer - it’s definitely beer o’clock by
lunchtime!).
Once the beer is in the fermenter, and you are thinking about
heading home (with a slightly fuzzy head) you will receive a
certificate and the choice of either taking a 5L mini-keg of your
favourite Brewhouse beer (valued at £25), or returning 2 weeks
later to pick up a mini-keg of your own brew!
If you’ve always toyed with the idea of doing a little home
brewing, but have no idea where to start, or if you’re looking for
a really original and guaranteed unforgettable gift for someone who
loves a pint in Poole, this full day brewery experience at the
Poole Brewhouse and Kitchen might just be exactly what you’re
looking for!
