Since Ridleys went there's only really micros these days. Maybe give one a ring, think most would be proud to show you round. I`ve been to The Wibblers brewery [at Phils invitation] and found it fascinating.

i contacted the 1 in maldon essex and got this nice reply
Hi Darren,



The brewers will show you around the brewery at anytime Mon- Fri 9.30-3.00 or on Saturday between about 10 and two of if you are arranging a tour for a group of visitors this would have to be booked for an evening as the brewery is very small.

Thank you for your interest, and we hope to see you soon

Julie


so i will be popping along there soon

Tried to get some of yours at the Colchester beer festival last week, it was gone. Not sure if you were there, but did you try the Phoenix APA from Harwich Town?

 

[yog]

I know that Harwich Town do brewery visits, minimum of 10 people anytime evenings or weekends. Always plenty of draught beer up and bottles for sale too. £6 per head for all you can drink.

I was in Mayland today with a business colleague and he said - "fancy a beer"
Stupid question really

So I followed him for a couple of miles and we ended up in a farm yard :?

Not sure where the beer was going to come from, but he introduced ne to Phil at Wibblers Brewery :

Phil thank took the time to give me a tour of his brewery and explained how he got going commercially, including some of the pitfalls etc.

I can only sat Phil I envy your set up, but it certainly gave me some reasons to think about a commercial venture

He certainly knows his beer and brewing and everything that Aleman has posted in the past is absolutely correct

Only downside?

He had been over run with orders and couldnt sell me any bee :evil: r

Next time I'm there I am taking some beer back with me and, hopefully some yeast

So - if in Essex see go to Wibblers :thumb:
