Cain's brewery


Yesterday, we participated to a Brewery Tour which enabled us to discover the Cains Beer Company in Liverpool. It was very interesting to visit this factory and understand how one of the most popular and cheapest beer in Liverpool is made. During the tour, the guide has shown us the different places, process and the ingredient used to make the beer. They happen to use hot water taken from an aquifer and various  sort of malt to make a huge variety of beer. Finally, a pint was offered to all the participant of the Brewery Tour in first pub built by Robert Cain.
