Brewery and taproom
Brewed twenty metres from your glass.
Eight beers on tap, poured in the room where they are made. Pale ales, a proper bitter, a stout and whatever the brewers are trying this month.
On tap this week
Eight lines, all brewed twenty metres away.
Thirds, halves and pints. The colour is the beer in the glass; the bar is how bitter it is.
