Based at one of Brewhouse and Kitchen's 23 locations across the UK - including Bristol, London, Nottingham and Manchester - this full day experience sees the Head Brewer talk you through the art of beer brewing.
While the process takes place, you'll tuck into a bacon sarnie for breakfast and some of the pub's classic dishes for lunch.
Overall, you get around seven or eight hours to learn all about brewing and enjoy some good food before taking home a certificate of completion and a 5 litre mini-keg of craft beer as a memento of the day.
This one only happens on brewing days which is about four times a week and you've got 12 months to use your voucher before it expires.

This one from Amazon can hold a whopping four litres of your dad's favourite beer (or whatever he wants to get rid of), as well as cocktails, soft drinks and juices.
This party hit has a removal cooling unit which you can fill with ice, without running the risk of diluting your beer.
It has an easy-pour nozzle with 0.5-litre increments and a sturdy base to plonk on any countertop, and can even be illuminated with LED lights.
BrewBarrell Home Brewing Starter Kit
With everything you need to brew five litres of home-brew lager, ready to drink in around a week, this home brewing starter kit available from Amazon is perfect for the Dad who'd like to try his hand at home brewing.
Simply add the provided, pre-measured ingredients to the barrel provided, add water, shake it up, top it up with water and allow it to ferment for seven days.
The results will be a mild, malty lager, with a slight sweetness; crisp, dry and fresh from the tap like your Dad's favourite pint from the pub.
It's a single-use kit and is more than enough to spark the inner master brewer of the house.
