Speight's Brewery

Tom is an amazing passionate tour guide, knows his stuff. Thank you for a very enjoyable tour. The ladies at the shop are super friendly and very accommodating.

We really enjoyed this brewery tour. Our guide was friendly and funny, and the history of the brewery was very interesting. The tasting at the end was good with generous portions. Everyone starts with the gold medal ale, but then you're able to choose the other 2 you want to try.nnAfter the tour we went next door to the Alehouse and had really tasty dinners.

We did the full Speights Brewery tour. Unlike more common to Victoria backroom tours, this had a more polished historical/museum like quality. We heard about all of the usual things like hops, water, barley, the malting and milling process, the various tuns, hop bombs, kettles, barrels and so on. But we also saw historical delivery maps and hear about the founders, the business approach, and got to see the old brewery floor as well as the new stainless steel version currently in use. We ended with a stop in the tasting room where all of the current tapes and products could be tested. Well worth doing the tour. The only missing thing was the t-shirts in the store said Speights but not New Zealand, or Dunedin and we like place names to go with the shirts.

The tour provides a good insight into the history of Speights and the beer making process. Great to have a look around the factory. The tasting at the end of the tour was a highlight with the opportunity to try different types of beers and ciders. Large selection of branded merch if you want to take home a souvenir. Thanks to guide Tessa and the Speights team for an informative and fun visit.

The brewery tour priced $22 for adult is totally value for money. Easy explanations and interesting facts with at least 3-4glass tasting section. What else can one want ???? some small bites may be.....just kidding.
