Why it stands out

More than 21 taps is the widest published draught selection in this ranking, and the rotating kegged cocktails extend it beyond beer.
It opens seven days a week with clearly published hours, which makes it one of the more dependable options on the list.
Brewery tours give it a daytime and early-evening proposition that most venues here do not have.
It ranks where it does because it is not programmed as a nightlife venue: the calendar is light and the taproom closes before the night really starts.

Atmosphere

A large, established taproom with the industrial character of a working brewery. It is built for groups and long sessions rather than for a late night.

Music and programming

No regular music programme is published. The venue hosts taproom events and brewery tours, and takes private bookings.
