Brewpoint marks 1,000 tour with exclusive brewery tour package

Brewpoint Brewery has poured up another milestone, hosting its 1,000th brewery tour!

Held on Saturday (15 February), the exclusive event welcomed 16 lucky guests who were randomly selected after entering a competition on our social media channels.

As well as getting to go behind-the-scenes of the brewery, guests were able to experience all the beers that are currently being brewed at Brewpoint – from our award-winning Josephine core range, which includes favourites such as Supernova, Foghorn and Genesis, to some of our smaller, bespoke beers and ales.

Tour Manager at Wells & Co. and beer sommelier, Tim Hickford, was on hand to guide guests through our near 150-year history, from humble beginnings at our first brewery in the heart of Bedford, to our ongoing expansion plans, which now includes 19 pub sites in France.

On marking the 1,000th tour, Tim said:

“It has been a pleasure to welcome over 10,000 tour visitors to Brewpoint since we opened back in 2020. These tours are proof that great beer and curious fans are a perfect pairing and today has been another fantastic opportunity to showcase the amazing history of our company.

“From day one, our brewery tours have been more than just a behind-the-scenes look at what we do – they’ve been a way to share our passion, our craft, and the stories that make Wells & Co. unique. We look forward to continuing to welcome new guests to experience our story as well as our award-winning range of beers.”

Over the 1,000 tours, more than 63,000 third pints (equivalent to 21,000 pints) have been consumed by guests. Those on the 1,000th tour enjoyed over 15 different beers that were on offer on the day, ranging from New England IPAs through to dark amber ales – all of which are brewed here at Brewpoint.
