Outstanding service, even better food and beer (REALLY good beer) - AnneRalfM, Trip Advisor, 5 stars
Glad we had the time to do the Monteith's Brewery tour. It was fun and informative. Nice set up with merchandise, restaurant and bar area. If you have time it is worth a break from driving and scenery to grab 5 mins to relax with a pint. - Kirrie706, Trip Advisor, 5 Stars
