Loved the tour of the brewery and be able to try all their beers.

You get to see a short film about brewing - interesting, but could have been made better/ more in depth - and then the 30-minute-taster session... It really WAS interesting comparing the different types of beer and they taste decent enough (I don't normally like beer)... When in Greymouth, why not pop in and have a gulp ;-)

As has been previously stated there is currently no brewery tour, which disappointed my partner, but quite frankly I was only in it for the beer tasting, so I was happy.

Enjoyed the experience of the various beer tastings, but disappointed that the brewery tour was not operating due to refurbishment. Adverts did not make it clear that this was the case.

They are currenly updating so we basically watched a 15min video and tasted beer. Value for money was quite good as we did get good samples and dinner at a local pub for $25 each.

Unfortunately the brewery is in the process of being rebuilt, so there isnt a chance to actually wander around and see how things are done (thats ok, we did the Cascade in Hobart, so we at least knew what was happening, and were really there for the tasting anyway!), but you do at least get a good DVD with the...
