At the heart of Wolverhampton lies our Banks’s Brewery with Visitor Centre and Shop. It’s here where you can brush up on your beer-based knowledge by touring the brewery and sampling our much-loved ales. Every brewery has its own unique flavour, which is pretty much impossible to copy anywhere else. At Banks’s, our team of brewers follow a time-honoured recipe to create that full-bodied flavour that customers have come to know and love.

Join the tour and you’ll discover the 100% natural ingredients we use to brew Banks’s cask ales – how they’ve remained unchanged for centuries – and you’ll learn in depth about the brewing process, from mashing to fermentation and how it’s evolved.

Remember to tell your friends and family about our tours (who knows, there could be a Master Brewer amongst you!). It also makes the perfect gift!
