点评:A really enjoyable insight into this famous brewery and its now-ubiquitous produce. Our host was a characterful guide called Chris who clearly has deep and wide expertise in the subject, presumably through many years of working in the industry. He gave us a potted history of GK’s foundation (which was itself a fascinating and well-told story) then walked us through the whole brewing process in the “tower” brewery. Lastly we were treated to a private tasting session of half a dozen beers at the brewery tap which again, was both insightful and great fun. At some 2 hours in all, the tour is great value and it even includes a free drink for each customer afterwards. I’d very much recommend it to anyone who’s interested in British beer and/or the country’s industrial past. Be aware though that the walkabout entails climbing some steep metal steps and includes some slightly vertiginous views!!
翻译:真正令人愉快的体验,让我们了解了这家著名的啤酒厂及其如今无处不在的产品。我们的主人是一位个性十足的导游,名叫克里斯,他显然对这个主题有着深厚而广泛的专业知识,大概是因为他在这个行业工作了很多年。他给我们讲述了 GK 的创立简史(这本身就是一个引人入胜且讲述得很好的故事),然后带我们参观了“塔式”啤酒厂的整个酿造过程。最后,我们在啤酒厂的龙头参加了一场私人品尝会,品尝了六种啤酒,这再次让我们受益匪浅,也非常有趣。整个游览大约 2 个小时,非常超值,之后每位顾客甚至还可以免费享用一杯饮料。我非常推荐给任何对英国啤酒和/或该国工业历史感兴趣的人。不过请注意,步行游览需要爬上一些陡峭的金属台阶,并欣赏一些令人眩晕的景色!!
