点评:This is a difficult one for me to review, but as it is on here under the category of ‘Things to do in Dorking’ I am inclined to review it as a place to go out of your way to visit whilst in Dorking and actually if I had done that, I would have been truly disappointed.
As it happened, I didn’t go out of my way as I was visiting the Denbies Wine Estate and had not realised that the Surrey Hills Brewery is part of the same development, being tucked away behind the Denbies Winery’s main building. But on seeing the signs for it and being very partial to a pint of Shere Drop, I got all excited to visit after our winery tour and enjoy the tap room and browse the brewery shop, as I used to do when working close to the Rebellion Brewery in Marlow.
So, after the tour round we walked to discover no tap room and no shop to speak of, just a back door entrance to the brewery, inside of which was a room that had a table out front with a printed piece of paper detailing the few items on sale. I did come away with four bottles of Shere Drop, but the experience was all a bit underwhelming, and I was very glad I had not embarked on a special journey to visit the brewery.
Now if I was reviewing their beer, it would be five stars. And if I had taken the brewery tour, I’m sure that would have been a five star experience as well. But as a visit outside of an organised tour, then I have to say don’t bother.
翻译:对我来说,这家啤酒厂很难评价,但既然它出现在“多尔金景点推荐”的类别下,我倾向于把它列为在多尔金期间值得专程前往的地方。但实际上,如果我当初真的这么做了,我肯定会非常失望。
事实上,我并没有特意去那里,因为我当时正在参观丹比斯酒庄,并没有意识到萨里山啤酒厂也属于同一开发项目,它就隐藏在丹比斯酒庄主楼的后面。不过,当我看到啤酒厂的指示牌,并且又非常喜欢谢尔酒厂的啤酒时,我便兴致勃勃地在酒庄参观结束后去那里逛逛,享受一下品酒室,看看啤酒厂商店,就像我以前在马洛的叛逆啤酒厂附近工作时那样。
参观结束后,我们走进去发现既没有品酒室,也没有像样的商店,只有一个通往酿酒厂的后门。门内是一个房间,门前摆着一张桌子,上面贴着一张纸,列出了几样待售的商品。我买了四瓶Shere Drop啤酒,但整个体验有点令人失望,我很庆幸自己没有特意来参观这家酿酒厂。
如果让我评价他们的啤酒,我会给五星好评。如果我参加了酿酒厂的参观,我相信那也会是五星体验。但作为一次非旅行团的参观,我不得不说,别浪费时间了。
