The tour showcases the full process from brewing to bottle and there is also an interview with the company's managing director James Clarke.

He said:"We are in our 170th year of beer and brewing and were delighted to team up with the Open University to help provide an insight into how we brew here at Hook Norton and to help educate people on the science behind the beer in their hand."
