Built in 1875, learn about the brewery’s history and how to create the perfect ale: from blending the ingredients, through filling the casks, to the craft of the cooper as straight pieces of oak are formed into curved staves to create a sublime vessel that holds a precise measure of beer.
After your evening meal hosted at the brewery, make yourself comfortable at the lavish Aldwark Manor Golf & Spa Hotel where you will stay overnight. Set in a grand Victorian house, and built by Lord Walsingham as a wedding gift to his daughter, the hotel has its own spa facilities and golf course for you to take pleasure in.
