Bass Brewery Reviews

Large range of interesting displays in information. The tour is informative but the guide thinks he is a comedian.

Lovely day out, super friendly and informative tour guide and staff members. Definetly recommend if you are a beer lover :)

Love their Sunday dinners. Great variety always good quality and great price. Better than cooking at home.

Very good day trip and very friendly staff plus you get a free pint with the admission price.

This place needs a day to fully appreciate. The guided tour was comprehensive and then we could wander at leisure. The food was hot and tasty. The heritage beer tasting was a little disappointing.

Went to an event here. Lovely place. Friendly staff very welcoming.

Excellent museum. Good collection of artifacts. Plenty of information on the history of the brewing industry in Burton on Trent and the current state of the industry. Highly entertaining tour. Great opportunity to taste a few brews.

The well water in Burton flows through gypsum, which gives it a flavor that goes well with hops and malted barley. At one time one pint in four of all the beer drunk in the UK was brewed in Burton. Today there are still several large breweries operating here. The beer museum has strange vehicles, old steam engines, period bars, and a cast iron urinal as well as displays on brewing and brewers.

Best tour ever! Thanks Dave for the fun and information. Loved it!

Great day out if you are interested in Breweriana and seeing how a brewery used to work. It's a shame the Bass company doesn't run the same way anymore.

Came here with a thirst for knowledge. Terry was our guide for the tour and had the perfect balance of insight, knowledge and humour. The tour comes with tastings at the end as well. Truly worth the price of admission.

Very informative. Nice way to spend a morning or afternoon.

Fantastic tour I would recommend to anyone who is a avid drinker, this place is very proud of the heritage of Burton-on-Trent.

we went here last Friday night for the Beatles tribute, was really surprised at how many people they had crammed in the venue, once you was in your seat it was very difficult to get to the bar or even to get to the ladies , it was like getting out of a maze , had a really good night though

Excellent real ales and good food. Great venue for functions...

Was a god festival. Was let down by lack of staff serving.

Had a great day there today with my friend the guide Olly made it very interesting really enjoyed his knowledge

Visiting with a group of 11, we enjoyed a guided tour with Dave McDonald; this was first class, lasting just less then two hours, and was a full and detailed coverage of all aspects of the museum. The tour was excellent value at just less More

Had a great night out here with friends. Intimate venue, great bar. Super.

Great Sunday roast, my guests where impressed with food quality and the tour of the old factory. I strongly recommend the place for a pleasant and inexpensive day out. Try beer tasting - good fun.

We attended for an event. The pre-show food was excellent, and overall I thought this was a great venue.

This was a lovely place to visit with my late father, he absolutely enjoyed the history of the brewery and of course the drink at the end; he had two since I was driving! Thank you all so much, this place is a cherished memory for me.

Visiting on our way home. Fantastic place. We had a very good tour and our guide Des was excellent. Very informative. Highly recommended

Excellent tour round the brewery museum. Loved the horses. Very interesting

Interesting 90 min tour of the history of Burton and brewing

In relation to 'Sunday Carvery'. Food okay but service very lacking from young under trained staff that look totally bewildered!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Excellent ale. Spot on.

Did a Halloween gig here with my band Viperlounge. Great venue and staff. Hope to return soon. Rich 5*

Fantastic and thorough tour by Des, covered a lot of stuff not mentioned in the main exhibits.

Very interesting museum, if you like beer. Lots of exhibits. Plus you get a free pint of beer to try at the end (in third of a pint measures).

A very enjoyable visit, I didn't realise it was so big, lovely Shire Horses, old brewery wagons a steam engine and a super scale model of Burton, my favourite part was the Edwardian bar, the staff were also very friendly and knowledgeable, you are given tokens for drinks at the end of your tour.

Lots of background and information on Burton's brewing past and present

Meal,service and venue excellent only minor complaint interval for main show to long.

Christmas do in the marquee, food very good, disco spot on. Would recommend x

Very interesting to see how the brewing was carried out & the model of Burton in 1900s. Beer samples at end of tour. Recommended

A really wet day what shall we do? The National Brewery Centre in Burton is supposed to be good. So off we went and we where not disappointed. The tour was given by an extremely friendly and knowledgeable guide who took us around in just over 1hr 45 minutes. Any questions asked he could answer. At the main desk you were given 3 tokens to try different beers at the end of the tour along with food if you wished. If you so wished you didn't need the guide and could spend as much more time looking and reading about the exhibits at your leisure. Photographs are aloud to remember your day. Take mints with you to feed the shire horses

Very informative, especially if you take a tour of the brewery experience. And the beer taste marvelous.

Good day out.....lots of interesting things to see....loved the shire horse's

I very well researched and and fascinating museum. The staff know everything there is to know about the history of brewing in Burton and the industry today.

This is about the technology and history of brewing. An interesting guided tour. Vouchers to sample beers at the end. More a museum really. Very interesting. Go there.

A great place for a day out. The Brewery Tap does lovely food as well.

Nice afternoon out and good food in the brewery tsp bsr

Really good night one of the comedians just was not at all funny

My Sister took Me there on My Birthday for the tour it was a really Good tour took a couple hours to do it was very informative loads of interesting stuff to see and at the end you get some tokens to try some of there real ales you get a 3rd of a pint per token but they were more like half pint tasters and there's a great gift shop well worth a visit and it wasn't expensive to do

Fantastic place to visit especially ifvyou have the tour guide.
Look out for special events like Easter as they have a lot for the kids. The sunday carvery is spot on.

Excellent experience. .for young and old alike ..worth a visit ..lovely museum and shire horses.

Great guided tour that retells the history it Bass and Marston

Great tour about 1.5 hrs, brilliant afternoon plus tokens for beer would recommend if you're I'm this neck of the woods

Great place for day out for beer aficionados. I especially liked their display of beer delivery vehicles. Beer shop offers good selection of beers you can't get elsewhere. Additionally on-site restaurant is a nice stopping point for a meal.

Great tour with informative insight into the social history of the industry. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic place, horses are stunning and Huge!, Lots to see and a lot of history.

Good place to visit. But of brewery history and music of you are lucky. Attended Burton jazz festival. To quality

Awesome place. Went for a wedding. Great beers. Would love to do the tour.
