Out in the countryside near Tewkesbury, you'll find Inferno Brewery in Bushley, a working production site where brewing and distilling happen under the same roof.
This is a genuine operating facility, not a visitor attraction tacked onto a factory, so you're watching real work taking place. The tours walk you through how they make their ales, lagers, and spirits, explaining the techniques and choices involved in each batch. You see the whole process from raw ingredients through to finished product, which gives you a proper sense of what goes into making beer and spirits.
After the tour, there's a tasting area where you can try what they've created, and you can buy bottles to take home if something appeals to you. The setting around Bushley is pleasantly rural and peaceful without feeling too isolated. It's close enough to Tewkesbury that you can easily combine a visit with exploring the historic town—the Abbey is genuinely worth seeing, and there are good places to eat if you want to make a full day of it. If you're spending time in the northern Cotswolds and interested in how beer and spirits are actually made, this is a straightforward, unpretentious place to spend an afternoon. No fuss, just the real thing.
