hi everyone welcome to Flying Dodo they make beer historic craft micro brewery
and liquor manufacturer oh why don't we see that cool sound on top of their building
that's better let's do that again
craft brewers in Mauritius started in like 2011.
beautiful beer footage yeah those are beer flavors this is actually a restaurant but
but it's also a brewery they actually have a brewery inside that we can actually go see
okay so this beautiful machine is where they're crushing the malt
there's all the beautiful malts
this stuff which you saw already
is the actual barley they take the barley malted barley i assume it's starting to malt
and they crush it and then they add water to it they then take it in there and they they cook it
so it's cooked in this one for about six hours then it is drained out and put into this one to
start the fermentation process then filtered out of that and goes into one of the storage tanks which
i'll show you in a minute valves and pumps and things that they require to get the beer around
there you go there's a whole brewing process to help you out it's been fermenting now we finally
got it out of that and now we're heading across there these are the tanks where it sits for about
three weeks and look all some of them is cold the best bit about it the best bit about it
look at that wall that's an old stone wall yes i know we're talking about brewing but
you know i can't leave a stone wall basically that whole process
uh oh this well spotted Riki
I'm walking over a pipe of beer
where you walk that's a pipe of beer and you might look up above me and see a big pipe
oh it's a really beautiful roof as well let's follow that pipe a little bit
because it goes up and then it starts coming down and look where it ended up
it ended up becoming a beer beers are only sitting in the tanks
for the three weeks but they don't get pasteurized and they don't get filtered
to keep all that great flavor in them and then they come all the way over the pipe onto the rack
where they get served from so unpasteurized unfilter because it makes for a better beer
this is the New England IPA which they brewed as a once a month beer but it was so popular that they
brewed again and this is the Blonde which is their most popular so it gets the biggest tank
basically what happens is that once a month they do a unique beer a new flavor
i'm hoping the next one is guava but we don't know no it's pudding i saw outside it's pudding
pudding so it's actually putting maize coconut powder i know
nice
how old are these planks

Mauritius so very very amazingly steampunk yeah Catherine Johnson Vienne Lager Catherine
Johnson was a black female engineer at NASA and now she has appeared in Mauritius name for her

basically a maize drink pudding maize ale oh wow it's a pudding it's actually a pudding yummy

wow there are so many beers unfortunately someone's drank them all this is the Flying
Dodo shop where you can buy all their beers and merchandise things like glasses
but look at this wall it's a muriel but it's made out of beer tops and note that each one
of those dots is an actual beer top wow just next to those bottle tops is actually a conference room

how's this view you can stand up here and see them brewing the beer down there
wow so we are upstairs now we've managed to get up here and look at this place what i love first of
all you guys know me number one thing i like it's going to be the stone wall have a look at this
bar it has the exact same one as downstairs but a white one not quite as big this is also a wine bar
but it just feels a little more classy up here you can also see that they've got the
booth sitting up here go to your conference and then come up here in the fancy restaurant where
you can see your beer being brewed and maybe play the piano and if you're coming flying don't know
