Greene King Brewery

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.

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.

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.

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.

Came here for the Brewery tour and tasting. We had a great experience with detailed information on the history of Green King. Moreen was a great tour guide and the tasting was great.

Great tour and tasting session.

Great tour that is well worth doing. The guide was very good and knew a lot about the people as well as the process.

The brewery tour was amazing and very good value for money. Both of us enjoyed it, even though one of us loves beer and the other isn't too keen. It was so interesting to hear about this old business and the history of making beer. There is also a wonderful view of Bury at the top! Our guide John was very knowledgeable and a good story teller. The tasting afterwards was really in depth and we tried so many more beers than expected, so there was something for everyone! And then to walk away with a complimentary bottle and a discount on the shop... a really great experience.
