The taproom

The taproom, and the month.

Open four days so we can brew the other three. Thursday is the quiet night, Friday has a van in the yard, Saturday has the oven and sometimes a band, Sunday is families and dogs until eight. The rota and the diary below are the same ones on the chalkboard by the door.

A street-food van and a wood-fired pizza oven in the yard of a brewery taproom on a Friday evening, strings of bulbs, people at picnic benches with pints, a dog under a table
Right nowBrewing today; the taproom opens Thursday at 4pm

Thursday 4pm to 10pm, Friday 4pm to 11pm, Saturday noon to 11pm, Sunday noon to 8pm. The shop the same, and Wednesday 10am to 4pm for collections. Monday to Wednesday we brew.

A taproom quiz night: about thirty people at long wooden tables in a converted chapel with stainless tanks behind glass, a quizmaster with a microphone

The gallery

The original chapel gallery, up the stone stairs, seats thirty with a small bar of its own and the whole floor below. £150 for an evening against a £300 bar minimum, with a van of your choice in the yard if you want food. The whole chapel, for a hundred and twenty seated, is available on a Monday to Wednesday when the taproom is closed.

Questions about the taproom

Can we bring food?

Yes, on any night without a van, and we have plates and cutlery. On Friday and Saturday the van and the oven are there because people asked; you can still bring your own.

Do you take bookings?

Not for the chapel floor; it is first come. The gallery upstairs can be booked for groups of ten to thirty for £150 against the bar.

Saturday at two: the tour, a flight, and a can to take home.

Ninety minutes round the tanks with whoever brewed that week, malt and hops in your hands, a taste from a fermenter, then four thirds on the chapel floor. £25, twelve at most. The same form takes a mixed box, the gallery, or a trade order.
