A uni-mate of mind invited me to a Brewery Tour, and I must admit I couldn't resist. It was something I always wanted to do having walked past the Harvery's Brewery in Lewes for many years, and that whiff of fermenting hobs was weird and interesting at the same time. But I never got around to it.
So when this offer was made, I say a resounding yes! And I didn't regret it!
I didn't know anything or previously heard about "Dark Star Brewery", but I knew that there were various small breweries around the place.
We got picked up from Preston Park on Friday evening, and the drive up to the Business Park near Henfield took about 25mins or so.
Upon arriving, we had a few samples - well it was a Brewery after all. I had a few of the brew - and must admit it was growing on me. The "how we brew" explanations were quite fascinating - didn't realise the level of machinery involved. More interesting was that this particular "small brewery" (ala microbrewery) in a business warehouse - yep no joke...like those warehouse units you see out of town... Weird, hey! :) Just shows you can set up a brewery anywhere - lol!
We finished around 9ish and returned back to Preston Park where I then managed to get home safely! Oh - yes! A nice and pleasant evening! Would recommend a visit one day! Only registered users can write comments. Please login or register. Powered by AkoComment 1.0! |
