Seven hours. A batch of beer. Brewed by the group, for the group.

The Brew Lab takes you through the entire brewing process from scratch — grinding the grain, mashing, boiling, and filling the fermenter — with the group deciding together what beer to brew and which flavours and accents to add along the way. While you brew, there are snacks and other beers to taste. Your beer then ferments and gets bottled, ready for pickup about four weeks later, shared equally between participants with a choice of customised labels.

Groups of 4 to 20 people are welcome.

What do I take home?

Your share of the beer the group brews together — fermented, bottled, and ready for pickup about 4 weeks after the session, split equally among participants, with a choice of customised labels.
