Faqs
Brewing FAQ's
Do I have to make a Stewart Brewing beer?
Absolutely not. We want you to make your own bespoke beer. Your brewer will guide you through all the ingredients and flavour options so your can get a one off, truly bespoke beer that you'll love.
How long will it take to brew my beer?
Typically about two and a half hours. You'll have likely worked up an appetite with all that hard work, so why not treat yourself to a pizza from our open fire pizza oven afterwards...
Can you brew a beer for me?
There are a lot of laws when it comes to brewing. To keep everything legal and above board, you have to brew the beer. We can't brew beer on your behalf.
What ingredients do you have?
We provide the 4 main ingredients needed to make beer; Water, Grains, Hops and Yeast. We have a wide variety to choose from and the selection is always changing.
If you would like to add anything else to your beer, we ask that you get in touch with us and let us know what you want to add. We'll advise you on the quantity you'll need to bring along.
Designing your labels
How do I design my own labels?
We'll need your design in PDF format and the size of the image has to be 7.6cm high and 12.4cm wide.
We recommend using Microsoft PowerPoint (most computers have it and there are free versions online), but feel free to use your preferred app.
Here's a guide to design your label using Microsoft PowerPoint.
1. Open a blank presentation
2. Click 'Design' and then 'Slide Size'
3. Change the height to 7.6cm and the width to 12.4cm
4. Design your label any way you would like it to look. We advise against putting your design too close to the edge. Sometimes details can be lost.
5. Click File>Export>Create PDF
6. We recommend saving the PowerPoint file as well just in case you need to make changes later
7. Attach the PDF file to an email and send it to us at shop@stewartbrewing.co.uk with your Craft Beer Kitchen booking number.
Is there anything I need to put on my labels?
You can put whatever you like on your labels. The beer you make is for personal consumption, so there are no legal issues to worry about.
Do you have any design tips for me?
We recommend making your text and pictures as big as possible. Don't leave lots of space between each section of your label.
Don't forget that your label will be wrapped around a bottle. When you look at it on a flat computer screen, try and imagine how it'll look on the bottle.
Look at your label at the actual size it will be, don't zoom in. Take a step back and make sure you can clearly read the text and see the images.
Packaging FAQ's
How many bottles with I brew?
I depends on the package you choose and the size of bottle. It ranges from 60 to 216 bottles. Check the booking page for the package options and the amount of bottles you'll get.
Can you package my beer for me?
Yes. When you book, please select the 'House Bottling' option. We'll package your beer and let you know when it's ready to collect.
If you have already booked a session with the 'Self Bottling' option, let your brewer know you would like to switch to a house bottling and they'll change your package during your brew session.
Visiting FAQ's
Can I try some of your award winning beer while I'm at the brewery?
Yes! You'll get the chance to try some beer while you brew. Each person in your group will receive 3 tokens. Each token can be used for a half pint of draught beer from our bar, a soft drink or a hot drink.
If you would like to try some beer during your brew session, we strongly suggest you don't drive to the brewery.
Can I exchange my beer tokens for something else?
Tokens can only be used for draught beer, soft drinks and hot drinks.
We give you tokens to enjoy a drink while you brew your beer. They can't be exchanged for anything else.
How many friends can I bring?
Each booking is for up to 4 people. Feel free to bring up to 3 friends with you for your experience.
You don't need to book places for your friends, they can arrive with you.
Can I have more than 4 people in my group?
We have to restrict the size of each group to 4 people for safety reasons. If you would like to have more than 4 in your group, you'll need to book an extra brew session. Then you can have a group of 8 people and you can make 2 different beers.
Can I bring along someone under 18?
Due to insurance reasons, under 18's are not allowed in the production areas of the brewery. This include the area where you will make beer.
Under 18's are allowed in our Brewery Shop and Beer & Pizza Restaurant until 8pm, when they are accompanied by someone over 18.
