Did a Brewery Tour here last night - about 5 minutes outside Reading

Very nice - tour price included Fish and Chips and as much Beer as you can drink.

Oh - and they sell direct to the public, too. Mininum 9 pint order, though!

yes please, pots in the kitchen.

I know a guy that runs a microbrewery. He is the guy I employ to layout pcbs for me. its a sideline for him. He got investment by selling shares in the venture - i coulda bought 5% with 1k, but I decided not to. They supply about a dozen local pubs, and the three bitters they do are nice.

so, anyone in nuneaton, and can visit the nelson, i recommend the tunnel brewery ales

The 'late OTT' is a really good qty drinking bitter.

ps - they undersell it a bit - lookm at the description of the trade winds bitter

A heavenly aromatic, copper coloured beer. It has an aroma rich in cascade hops spilling over into clean crisp hints of citrus. Quickly followed by a rush of fruity malts that are pursued by an exquisitly dry finish, full of scented hops. A Pale Ale like it ought to be!

Rumour has it...
The tunnel, after which the brewery is named, passes through the highest mountain range in Central England. When the tunnel was finished it suddenly released all the easterly winds, hitherto, trapped behind the “Ansley Alps". An immediate and constant prevailing wind was born. This gale force wind howled down to the south coast and way beyond as far as the Cape of Good Hope! It filled the sagging sails of the ailing shipping fleets and became the driving force that carried trade to and from the Far East. This new wind, hailed as a godsend, was given a special name.

This glorious beer, also held in high esteem, was brewed to commemorate the “miracle gale”, and bares the same name…. Trade Winds.
(Drinker beware, this beer may have the power to release the winds within you!)
