Visited the centre restaurant for Sunday lunch. Ordered drinks and told the bar staff we wanted food. We were given menus and told we could eat in the bar. Fine, until we made our choice and went to the bar to order the food. 10 mins of being ignored by the bar staff I then managed to place my order... More

PGreat place with a well rounded introduction to the history of brewing in England. Beutiful vehicle restorations and the only historic beer related attraction I have been to with horses! The brewery tap bar is lovely and the tasters on offer are nice. Ended up having a pint of Spring Shield and a wonderful Burger with onion and mustard seeds... More

I visited in midweek during April, when the summer season should have started, but the whole place appeared to be in hibernation. I was not offered any form of guide, other than the leaflet I already had, but having done other brewery tours I was OK doing the self-guided tour. However, I was surprised at the lack of a schedule... More

If you love beer then this is a must place to visit. See the histroy of Burton and how beer brough the town alive through the years. Also intresting to see how the changes have affected everything when Bass went to Coors. Enjoy!

We took the £7.95 tour and didn't know what to expect. We had 2 American friends with us and chose this as a last minute option as thier trip to Paris was unexpectedly cancelled. Boy were we surprised. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeble about the history of brewing and told us lots of anecdotes and explained several sayings such... More

Not a lot going on. Very down at heal. Dustly uncared for and a great dissapointment. Had great potential, but seems to simply justify using up old interesting buildings, with unimaganative exhibits, that would have required demolition.

Didn't really know what to expect, but having been to this place some twenty years ago we were amazed at the difference. We were a party of 13, and on entering, were offered a free tour by a most pleasant and knowledgable guide. Highly recommend you do a guided tour, as there is so much to see and learn about.... More

Based in the Coors Brewery, this used to be the Coors Brewery Museum. It still features real ales produced by Coors such as White & Red Shield and Worthingtons. Nice food menu from snacks to proper meals.
