tunnel brewery

Had a brilliant time so interesting how the beer is made and the samples really top it off. Well worth a visit.

We visited Tunnel Brewery last night. What a fantastic we night we had. The tour lasted for over 2 hours and in total we tried 8 different ales. Nibbles were also provided once we were in the bar area. Mike the tour guide was brilliant and you could tell he had a real passion for real ale. I would definitely do the tour again and I'm looking at booking as a birthday present the for someone. out of all 8 real ales there was only one I wasn't too keen on. I even enjoyed the stout which I don't usually like. Well done tunnel brewery.

Booked from Amazon Local on a deal for myself and my husband, as we've been on a couple of different tours before and always enjoyed them.I have to say this tour lead by Mike took it to the next level, he was informative, without being too much and had a laugh along the way.You also get a good taste of all of the Tunnel ales - we got to try 8 different ones, and they are decent sized measures too.I would definitely recommend visiting Tunnel Brewery and we'll be returning soon.

I received as a Christmas gift a Brewery Tour for Two at the Tunnel Brewery Nuneaton.We arrived on a sunny January morning to find an assembled group of approx 20 people of mixed age and gender. Our designated driver (who had brought the gift) was immediately invited to tag along on the tour (with no mention of a charge) as an alternative to having to kill a few hours at a nearby craft fayre coffee shop.The tour started with a brief history of the brewery and its location before moving into the first area where before we'd even all settled in, the first beer bottles were being opened for us to taste. The passion and depth of knowledge of Mike, our host and tour guide, was evident. His jokes and banter entertaining. Everyone seemed to be at ease and laughing very early on.We were shown and offered to sample, smell and taste all of the raw ingredients and also tried to guess what the dodgy looking white powder was! I'm writing this immediately after getting home from the tour and some of the details are still a little hazy! Moving into the next area we tasted some beer direct from the fermentation vessel which had been started only a few days before.We soon moved on up the spiral staircase to the warm and welcoming bar area, where for about a further hour and a half many many more beers were opened and sampled. Nibbles such as crisps, crackers, mature cheese and even chocolate were available to complement the various beers rising in strength as the time passed to the accompanying amusing and informative tales.Eventually (almost reluctantly) Mike made his very brief sales pitch before inviting everyone to select and purchase beer to take home, which caused an eager queue to form.Myself, my good beer loving friend and my very understanding non beer drinking partner (who was offered/served complementary non alcoholic drinks throughout) very much enjoyed the experience and would not hesitate to recommend the tour to anyone and everyone. If you like beer take this tour. Don't forget to organise a designated driver!

Tunnel Brewery is a micro-brewery tucked away in the Warwickshire countryside where, on cold, breezy day, about 20 people arrived for a brewery visit that exceeded all expectations. None of your 1/2 pint of beer at the end as is so common in brewery visits, but a generous sampling session of all the products. The visit started in the mashing room then moved to the fermentation - with tastings along the way. Upstairs to a convivial couple of rooms where Bob, the co-owner and excellent raconteur, introduced and opened the full range of the brewery's products. To help the tasting, nibbles, including dark chocolate to complement the porter, were provided. Plenty of beer. A convivial time was enjoyed by all.Oh ... ask Bob about the local parish council......

4 of us went on the brewery tour did'nt know what to expect but what a great night . So interesting lisening to the method they use in the brewing . After the tour went up stairs to sample the beers 7 in all 1 we had with a piece of chocolate and 1 with cheese after the night we could buy some beers 5 bottles for £10 . Great night would recommend anyone to try it

A friend and I made the trip here from Derby as I bought an Amazon Local voucher. On a cold windy morning in Derby I began to wonder if it was good idea for just another brewery visit. Well what can I say: the welcome when we arrived was warm, our host Mike was engaging and entertaining, tasting the beer began early in the visit to illustrate what he was talking about. The hospitality room was comfortable with nibbles to complement [had to get that right as Mike is an ex teacher] the various beers. And the beers were super! An excellent afternoon, thanks Tunnel Brewery.

I could not recommend this more highly. A group of 5 of us went along for the tour and tasting and had a fantastic time. When I say tour well it is a microbrewery so that means 2 rooms downstairs where they make the beer then it's upstairs to the bar for tasting. The tour is about mainly about the tasting and getting to know the stories and the ingredients in those beers as well as getting to know the process of making the beer. Its a great atmosphere, very educational alongside being just fun, and the beer is lovely. We tried 7 different beers on the tour and they are very generous. I must of had at least 1/2 a pint of each if not a bit more. They crack open the bottles and leave some out for you to top up your class. Definitely recommend to those who love beer.

My husband and I visited Tunnel Brewery last year and were really impressed by it.We've raved about it to our friends since, and today we got the opportunity to take some of our friends along with us. It was just as brilliant this time, and what was particularly good for us was the opportunity to try different beers to last time. Mike, the person that does the tour is amazingly passionate about beer, and really makes the tour. You get to try a great variety of beers and hear the history/stories behind them. It's just brilliant.Both times my husband and I have managed to get deals on entrance cost, but I'd be more than happy to go again and pay full price as its such a great little place, and both the beers and tour are superb!

Our tour of this microbrewery was really interesting, our guide Mike was very informative and friendly, ready to answer each and every question fully. After the tour of the brewery itself, we adjourned upstairs to the small bar area where we were given loads of beers to sample, together with stories relating to the creation and birth of that particular beer. There were also crisps, crackers, cheese, chocolate etc to nibble at which complemented the various flavours of ale.We cannot praise this place highly enough, and will certainly recommend it to family and friends.

I couldn't recommend this brewery tour more highly. These are people who are passionate about the beers the brew and their very knowledgeable talk mixed with plenty of witty banter made for an excellent evening. We got down to drinking virtually as soon as we arrived and over the course of the evening tasted five or separate beers from their range with some nibbles to accompany them. Brilliant value for money.

Rumour has it.......that you won't beat a visit to the tunnel brewery. Well it's true. This isn't one of those tours where you are patronised and talked at for an hour with a small beaker of beer to sample at the end. Plenty of banter with both mike and Bob (or bullsh*t bob as I renamed him) and plenty of tasters made this a very enjoyable couple of hours. They even let you buy as much or as little of your favourite as you like (but no hard sell from these guys). Rumour also has it we'll be paying a return visit soon.

I purchased this tour for as an anniversary treat for my husband (a real ale fan), expecting him to love, and for me to be there as a taxi driver if I'm honest. However, I was surprised how much I enjoyed it too! Great, down to earth, knowledgeable host, plenty of fun anecdotes to keep us all amused, and plenty of ale samples to keep my other half happy. Will be purchasing more tours as gifts for brother in laws etc. You can purchase bottled ale to take home, however, there is no 'hard sell'. Well worth a visit.

I was given the tour as a fathers day gift. We went in a group of four and we all enjoyed it. Very interesting and plenty of beer tasting and a fantastic host. You do not need to be a real alefan to enjoy this tour.

Great fun especially for beer drinkers. Very informative. Make sure you have a driver to drop you off and pick you up after the tour so you can fully benefit from generous samples :)Did it on a groupon deal and thought it was a bargain
