Love the brewery by the ground, great atmosphere, but still plenty to do. They were pre-pouring pints in large numbers at 11.45, some of which were still there an hour later. A fiver for a pint that has sat for an hour and just topped up on service is not a good look. No IPA on tap is baffling seeing as they actually brew it. It's basically a lager bar.
Don't want to moan, it is great facility and very grateful for what they have done and investment made. Just a few teething issues to sort.
Hey mate, keep some artichoke about your person whenever you nip for a pint. If they have no bitter just get a pint of lager, chop up a tiny bit of the artichoke and and drop it in the lager. Should have a pint of bitter ale then.
I had a chat with the guy on the laptop at SBT, I believe he's one of the bosses. He was very honest and said they've had a nightmare with supplies. Said the beer isn't currently up to the standard they want it. Most pubs struggling with getting barrels in and they haven't been able to get ingredients in for their own brewery. National shortages due to Covid/Brexit.
At some point they are adding a second bar at the one by the ground which will be good.
