| "Poole Brewery Experience" |
| "Brewery Experience Days: Pint lovers in Poole, get ready for the perfect experience. This full day Brewery Experience allows you get behind the scenes at one of Poole’s top brewery pubs, to learn all about the brewing process, and even get fully involved in it yourself! Find out what happens in the brewing process from, barley to barrell, at the Poole Brewhouse and Kitchen. Your day starts with a drink. No, not a pint - it’s 10am for goodness sake! Over a tea or coffee, you’ll have a quick introduction to the brewery, the pub and the day ahead. But there’s not too much talking - you have brewing to do and soon it’s time to get to the mash tun to start the first part of the brewing journey - mashing in. Don’t know what that means? Well you’ll learn! (Spoiler alert - it’s mixing the milled grain with water and heating it). You’ll also learn about transferring, re-circing and sparging, as well as ‘the boil’, and the purpose of adding hops and kettle finings to the mix. The professional brewers who run the experience really know their stuff, and they’ll explain each step of the process to you, including telling you all about the chemical processes that go on inside the machines so you’ll gain a real understanding of the whole process. It's thirsty work, so fear not - throughout the day, you'll get the chance to taste a whole range of unique Brewhouse and Kitchen craft beers, with advice and information from your expert. Of course with all this hard work and learning, you’ll also get hungry, so included in the day is a bacon butty in the morning, as well as a tasty lunch in the pub (accompanied by a beer - it’s definitely beer o’clock by lunchtime!). Once the beer is in the fermenter, and you are thinking about heading home (with a slightly fuzzy head) you will receive a certificate and the choice of either taking a 5L mini-keg of your favourite Brewhouse beer (valued at £25), or returning 2 weeks later to pick up a mini-keg of your own brew! If you’ve always toyed with the idea of doing a little home brewing, but have no idea where to start, or if you’re looking for a really original and guaranteed unforgettable gift for someone who loves a pint in Poole, this full day brewery experience at the Poole Brewhouse and Kitchen might just be exactly what you’re looking for!"

| "Portsmouth Brewery Experience" |
| "Brewery Experience Days: Head to Portsmouth for a pint or two, with this full day brewery experience - a fantastic, fun and fascinating introduction to the magical process of brewing beer. A lot of work and ingenuity goes into making good beer, and this day is the perfect way to see just how that sweet amber nectar is made! The experience takes place at a renowned Brewhouse and Kitchen in Portsmouth; there couldn't be a better place to go behind the scenes! The brewery experience day kicks off at 10am with a drink - not an alcoholic one just yet though! You'll have an introduction to the day over a nice a cuppa, then it's time to get to work, and start with the first stage of the brewing process; the mashing in. Milled grains are mixed in a mash tun with water, and then heated up. It takes a while, so When you've got the mash in started, you'll have time to taste your first craft beer (or 5), whilst your professional brewer explains the chemical process that's happening in the mash tun. When you've had a snack and have a glass of your favourite Brewhouse craft beer in hand, and the mash in is done, it's time for the the transfer, re-circ and sparging. This will all be explained as you go so don't worry if you don't know what any of it means just yet! At this point it's time to break for lunch...and we think you've earned yourself another pint by now, so bottoms up! After lunch you'll start the boil, which means adding hops and kettle finings to the mixture. By five o'clock, everything will be done - you'll get involved with the clean up, and be ready to head home... or perhaps back into the pub for another well-deserved and very delicious craft beer (if your'e not feeling too tipsy already, that is)! At the end of the experience, all participants are entitled to a certificate and a 5L mini-keg of their brewed beer (valued at around £25). It needs time to ferment so the keg will be ready for collection, approximately 2 weeks later. Alternatively they can choose a mini-keg of a different Brewhouse and Kitchen beer, which they can take away on the same day. If you're a beer lover, or you're looking for a great gift for someone who appreciates a cold, crisp pint of beer, this Portsmouth brewery experience is just the ticket!"
