When the beer finally emerges, it is of such high quality that the bottles are filled without pasteurisation to keep the natural aroma and taste intact. All that’s left is tasting… for the purposes of quality control. Come along and join the tour. The Monteith’s Brewery Tour has been created so you can experience, firsthand, the foundation of Monteith’s Family of Fine Beers.
