My Partner and I really enjoyed the experience and of course the beers, Nigel is a living beer encyclopedia each beer had a story and no two were the same, it was a great combination of history and beer drinking, we aren't beer connoisseur's but the Ale Trail was great and way different then we expected , if you're in the area we highly recommend you book in and experience the Ale Trail for yourself.
