Victorian era brewery

This is the Hook Norton Brewery:


It's even cooler looking in person.

The date on the side of the wall is 1896. I imagine that the water to make the beer is pumped to the top of this amazingly cool building, and as the process goes on, the wort is drained to successively lower tanks. I don't know for sure, because while there are tours, there were no tours going on when we showed up.

Just up the street was an equally nice pub where we had the opportunity to have some of the beer from the brewery. So it all sort of worked out in the end.
