Holy Goat Brewing

There's a working brewery tucked away near Tayport that takes its craft seriously without the pretension. Holy Goat Brewing is the kind of place where you can watch actual beer-making happening, rather than just sipping something that arrived pre-bottled from a industrial facility miles away.

The setup is straightforward - a proper production space where they're experimenting with styles and ingredients, and a tasting area where you can sample what they've been working on. You'll get a feel for how small-batch brewing actually operates, which beats most visitor attractions hands down. The staff know their stuff and aren't precious about it, which makes a refreshing change.

It's worth a detour if you're a beer enthusiast, or if you're someone who appreciates seeing genuine craftsmanship in action. Kids won't get much out of it unless they're old enough to find industrial equipment interesting, so save this one for when you've sorted the adults' entertainment. Families staying at Tayport Links Caravan Park or Larick Campsite - both highly rated spots - are only four-odd miles away, making it simple enough to slot into an afternoon without major planning.

Allow an hour or so, depending on how chatty you are with the team. It's free to look around, though you'll want to buy something to taste properly. Go midweek if you can, when it's quieter and the brewers are more likely to have time for conversation.
