Was given tasting kit and tour for Christmas. Brilliantly well presented live on Zoom, great hosts, showed you how to make Bramble cocktail and several other drinks from the miniatures provided in pack (Vodka, sloe Gin, Marmalade Gin, Pink Grapefruit and GB Gin, two bottles of Fevertree tonic) and gave guided tour and talk. Great for a party and fun interaction - done really well during COVID lockdown and much needed relief!

Eden Mill

NEW DISTILLERY CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. UNFORTUNATELY WE'RE CURRENTLY UNABLE TO ACCEPT VISITORS. Just outside St Andrews, Eden Mill is Scotland's original single-site brewery & distillery.

An incredible ‘experience’ making our own Gin! Welcomed from the start with a Salcombe gin, very knowledgeable distillers helped with finding botanicals and more Salcombe Gin in the middle as well as at the end made the whole gin making experience brilliant! Plus we ended up with a bottle of our own made VERY drinkable gin. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Beat Brewery

Reviewed By travelbaggies - Dudley, United Kingdom

Attached to its brewery on an industrial estate a short walk from Lye railway station, this tap is a delight. The beers are varied in type and strength and of good quality. The bar itself has a pleasant ambience with soft lighting, low and high table seating and, of course, music playing and you might even get a request in if you ask nicely. Importantly, this establishment is spotlessly clean and was prior to Covid. Well worth a visit.
