Beer brewing workshop in Aix-en-Provence (13)

The host knows his stuff: we had a great time, very convivial and culturally enriching. I highly recommend it, whether you're a beer lover or not.

A connoisseur and enthusiast of beer and its history. There's something for everyone - just taste!

Great activity led by Jérémi. Good explanations and pleasant tastings.

It's a shame the brewery was under renovation, I'd have liked to see all the instruments needed to brew beer. But it was great fun and the explanations lived up to expectations.

Unfortunately, I can't put it any higher than "average". I was offered a beer-brewing workshop, and right up to the day of the workshop, everything was marked as a "beer-brewing workshop". However, this activity ceased to exist several weeks ago and was replaced by a "beer masterclass". Brewing with the public is no longer possible at this brewery. We arrived and were told that the course would last 2 hours, as opposed to 4 hours for the original workshop... And no beer brewing. When we asked, we were told that this activity had not been possible for several weeks. Right... Okay... But that it's been replaced by a "quiz". I don't think it's the same thing... There's a sheet on site that clearly distinguishes the brewing workshop from the masterclass, and the duration of the two workshops (4h vs 2h),... So you think you've paid (or the person who gave you the gift, in our case) for something you won't get, and are being replaced by something less. There were around twenty of us, and we discussed it amongst ourselves: disappointment, and no one had been warned of this change of program. Some had come from far away! Anyway... The workshop we attended was very interesting, we learned a lot, Jeremi seems passionate, easy interactions... The aperitif was very nice, allowing us to taste the beers while learning about the aromatics... The quiz is also great fun. Unfortunately, the second disappointment came when it was time to leave: in the description of the workshop, we were supposed to leave with 6 bottles of beer that we had brewed... As the brewing didn't take place, we were offered a 33cl bottle and a 75cl bottle. Nice, but not what was promised. We expressed our disappointment to Jeremi at the end of the course. Understand... He would have already informed Funbooker of the change, but this was not taken into account. No compensation, not even a real apology. We would have expected Jeremi to warn us before the workshop, knowing that the information had not been posted on the Funbooker website. That's the minimum... It's a bit of a shame, we really had a good time, but it's not what they wanted to offer us, nor what we expected...
