Hook Norton Brewery, Victorian tower brewery and museum in Cherwell, England.

The brewery spans multiple floors in a red brick building where the brewing process flows naturally from the top to bottom levels.

Founded in 1849, the brewery incorporated a steam engine in 1899 that operated continuously until 2006 to power the brewing machinery.

The brewery maintains the tradition of delivering beer to local establishments using horse-drawn drays, connecting past and present methods.

Visitors can join two-hour guided tours of the facility, taste various beers, and explore the museum collections displaying brewing equipment.

The facility houses the last commercial open crank stationary steam engine in Britain, which remains in working condition for demonstrations.
