Celebrating Crispin's life in the only way we know how...

Brewery tour : 12 noon

For those of you wishing to enjoy the beautiful 3 miles woodland walk to the brewery, a group will be leaving at 11am from Jubilee Playing Fields (please bring suitable footwear).
For those who would rather not, you can take the steam train from Alton Station via the Watercress Line to Four Marks, or drive.
At the brewery, you will be able to take a tour, sample the beers, and enjoy local band Tommy and The Archer. Remember, this day is about Cris and the things he loved, so feel free to bring pork pies and scratchings to accompany your beer.
