We were shown into our classroom for the day and were
offered tea and biscuits; though we had to make our own brews. Then after going
through today's agenda; we each introduced ourselves and named our favourite
beer; though only one person came forward and named a Fuller’s one. Then we were
taken into the heart of the brewery for a brief history of its formation. We
were shown the traditional copper fermentators which looked fantastic; and also
the giant plastic liquor tanks; which were far less pretty. We also had a quick
insight into the laboratory; where samples of beer and water are regularly
checked for quality and consistency. No taste tasting like the days of old! I
particularly enjoyed watching the automated cask washer happen; it was great to
see barrels of beer on the move! Sadly; their keg operation was a lot faster
and had more people attending to it. We
finished our tour at the hop bar; where it was time for a glimpse of Fuller’s
Breweranina; and of course some tasting as well!
