We visited the long man brewery for a tour and tasting. They were both excellent. The brewery is…read morefairly small and not that old, and the tours and shop started last December but it is an absolute must if you enjoy beer and are interested in the local history of the area. The tour guide was extremely friendly and knowledgable and able to answer everyone's questions. The tour itself lasted about 45 minutes and then you all sit round the tasting table in the shop to try 4 of the beers whilst the tour guide explains how each was made and tasting notes. They are also very happy to give you an extra glass of any of the beers you fancy drinking more of after the initial tasting. They definitely aren't scrimping on the beer available to you! Also part of the tour is a goodie bag to take home containing a bottle of beer and a long man glass, and you get 15% off any purchases you make in the shop on the day. It was really excellent value for money and a thoroughly enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.

Went for a Sunday roast here yesterday.

Very, very small portion sizes, particularly considering the £12.50 per head cost. Just about got two broccoli florets and quarters of a small stick of carrot each. The beef was a little tough too, and only two small slices. There was definitely room for pudding, but looking at their sweet board, with an extra charge of £5.50 each, we decided rather than pay an extra £11 for inadequate portions we would go and buy a ginger cake for £1 at the nearby supermarket and make some custard at home. Overpriced. My advice would be to get in the car and go to the nearest Toby carvery.

Oh Bison Beer! Why have I only just found you!? *sadface*…read more Apparently they have been open for just over a year now and I've walked down East Street soooo many times over that period but completely missed this place. This is my perfect idea of Saturday afternoon shopping! (Sorry Churchill Square). Not only do they stock ALL of my favourite beers/breweries from Beavertown to Cloudwater, Flying Dog to Wild Beer and lots more....they also brew their own which tastes pretty good too! We stocked up and purchased 10 bottles and was given a loyalty card. Every £15 you spend you get a stamp and you get something for free after every 3 stamps which is pretty good going. They also sell Growler's where you can fill it up with their own beer or they have a couple of others on draft too (Cloudwater last time I visited but they change it regularly apparently). The only thing that was a little bit off was the service, the lady was nice enough but she seemed to spend more time helping a guy who walked in asking 'Do you sell any proper beers? As in like Fosters or Carling or something?' Perhaps she realised that he needed a lot more help :) But it would have been nice to chat to her and get her opinion as an expert on perhaps beers that they stock that we've never tried before and/or learn a bit more about their own beer. But she did give me a taste of the latest Cloudwater on draft....and anyone that feeds me Cloudwater is all good in my books. A solid 5 stars for me for the selection of beers and their own brew only, hopefully the service will be 5 star worthy too next time we visit as I can see this place being somewhere that we will be visiting a lot! *happyface*

They've got so many you could have a different one each day of the year. At the end of the shop closest to the front door they had a very welcoming bench, made, we were told with reclaimed timber from Brighton Pier. On the black board at the back were bright yellow messages and illustrations in their signature style. We glugged back the Bison's Beast Street ipa and to me it had an elderflower taste (that's a new one on them). Great little shop with a huge selection of craft beers and a massive crowdfunding campaign. They hope to raise funds to turn an abandoned listed building into an independent pub.

I've done brewery tours in the US, Ireland, and England and the Fullers tour is really good. The…read moreguide we had (Lisa) was knowledgeable, had been with the company a long time, and had a great personality for the tour. She was alternately friendly, funny, and informative. The tour was organised around the four main ingredients of beer (barley, water, hops, and yeast) and it showed the old way and new way of brewing at each stage. Often you see an old copper and brick version and then you see the new, computerised and stainless steel version. Lots of the photo opportunities are in pretty poor light. If you bring a camera, be sure to be ready for dim indoor lighting. On the up side, you see a real working brewery doing its thing. You really do sometimes step out of the way so someone can walk by and keep doing his job. On the down side, this means they generally only do tours during business hours. Skive off work one afternoon, though. It's worth it. Parking near the brewery is limited, so be sure to allow yourself some time to find a spot. There's ample pay-and-display parking, but it's a lot of twisty turny streets in there. I'm not sure how easy it is to get to this on public transport. We drove. That's a shame, because somebody's not getting the full experience. The tastings at the end were generous and we got to sample lots of different beers. I had only really had the London Pride and Honeydew before the tour. I'll be watching for the Jack Frost Christmas ale and Chiswick Ale now.
