Very interesting and thorough tour of the brewery. At the end you are given a glass and it's all you can drink for a 1/2 hour! The cider was delish and we enjoyed Summit so much we went out and bought a case.

The tour itself is pretty much what you'd expect from any brewery but the commentary and presentation here is very very good... and the help yourself handpull session at the end is a hoot.

We really enjoyed our tour, guide really knew his history of the brewery... Excellent tasting session after and I can strongly reccommend doing the dinner straight after the tour!

...about the brewing process and history of beer. Our guide was a little un-PC which was disappointing but overall he was friendly and knowledgeable. The tasting at the end was great. :)

Love the brewery. Kept going back for dinner. Love that you could opt to sit on the lounge near the fire to eat. Very busy. Good waiting times and lovely staff and service.

If you are in Dunedin NZ make sure you do the Speights brewery pup crawl. It is a whole day and very well worth it. A great pup lunch is included. The day was made even better by our hostess Heidi and the lovely lass at Speights brewery. Dont miss it,you will certainly come away a lot merrier then when... More

The tour guide was fabulous and informative without the sometimes boring bits. The men in our group loved the idea of the open bar at the end of the tour!
