Greene King Brewing Review

Tour was well worth doing.
The reception staff were very friendly.
The guide (Steve) was well versed with the history of the brewery and a keen beer drinker.

The tour duration is about 1 hour and a half and ends with a beer tasting session of around 20 minutes.
There are 114 steps from the road outside to the roof so be prepared.
The view of Bury Saint Edmund from the roof top is great.

There is a small shop on site where Greeneking beers can be purchased.
There is also a small coffee shop on site called Beer Cafe.

Best tour into a brewery ever! For the love of Old Speckled Hen! Not just a tour into the magic of making a brew, but a lot of Bury St Edmunds history and Greene King involvment with the city. The tour finish at the pub with tasting the best of beers. I took the 19 o'clock tour, not the best time if you plan to return to London by train but a good time in order to visit all the city attractions.

Informative and experienced guide. Very interesting to learn about the history of the Greene King brewery and to see where the different stages of the beer making process are carried out. Views from the top are well worth it and there's plenty of time to sample a good range of beers in the tasting room.

The tour was pretty immersive on more of a personal level. You get to learn a little bit of the Greene King history as well as the process of making beer. They even went as far as letting us try and smell the different types of barley and hops. The tour guides are very knowledgeable.

Great tour and Steve was a brilliant host. Don t be put off by the slightly covid modified tour, it s still worth every penny.

We had a great tour around which was about 1.5 hrs. Toilets in the main shop area so make sure you go before the tour starts. Was great testing all the ales upstairs in a private bar after the tour. Well worth the money and very interesting.

Had fraud on my account from this place I wouldn't trust!

I have been on several brewery tours at establishments of all ages and sizes and I don't think I have enjoyed any quite as much as this. Our guide was excellent, which really helps. She had worked at the brewery for 40 years and was in love with the town and the brewery. The main 1930's Art Deco building is large, spacious and mostly very quiet. The views from the roof are great for seeing Bury and the associated brewery buildings. I only wish I had taken my camera up the 113 steps. After the tour and tale of the history of the building and business we had plenty of time to sample the produce.
