"Had a really cool tour led by Tessa and assisted by Luis. It was super interesting learning the history of the brewery as well as about how to make beer. The beer tastings at the end were great too!"
"Pretty spacious, well set up eating space, good use of tables and well adjusted to accommodate for a large group of people. Speight's catered well to our group of 15's needs, and we were happily seated and set up in no time. Customer service was organized and prompt, and the team delivering our food were courteous. I ordered the large plate of ribs, and was pleasantly surprised by the arrangement which was well done and very appetizing. Even the medium plate was arranged well and this was a recurring theme amongst the other dishes my friends decided to order. I had high expectations for these as I'm always trying to scout the best ribs in town, however am disappointed to say that these did not meet them. The rib meat was overall mediocre, as it did not fall off the bone and a few pieces were exceptionally dry and difficult to chew, and soon became bland and stringy. I did like the size of these ribs as they were presented in long single bones, however the quality of the meat prepared was just not up to my standard. There was adequate sauce but it was just a standard bbq, and there seemed to be many cartilage bone present (or at least in my plate). The sides were decent-there were some bacon/sausage pieces which made the meal look better, but the taste wasn't anything spectacular, although it was a nice addition. The fries were not made, straight cut and mostly crispy which were a pleasant find especially since they were buried underneath all the ribs and sauce. The salad was okay, I prefer coleslaw with my ribs, but the pieces of fresh veg on the side were a delight-love me some tomato, capsicum and radish slices! Overall, it was decent, a good portion for the price theoretically speaking, however for the quality you can definitely find better ribs in Dunedin and at a stellar price! 3/5 As of 6/5 rib ranking in Dunedin: Lone Star (need to visit again for update on consistency in quality) > Ratbags> 50 gorillas (may also need to visit their all you can eat as I hear inconsistency in quality) > Speights"
"The tour was perfect ended with beer tasting. Personal favourite will be gold medal ale, old dark and summit low carb."
"Fantastic tour! Our tour guide was so much fun! Very informative and generous beer/cider tastings at the end. Loved it!"
