点评:We're spoilt having the brewery on our doorstep. We visit most weekends as part of our dog walk and the new(ish) premises are much more suitable for a brew tap than the old cramped site, more space, tables and toilets which means Ed now opens on a Friday/Saturday rather than once a month. In the summer you can sit outside and the recent addition of heaters, means a trip to the brewery is as comfortable in the winter now. A selection of at least 16 different beers at any 1 time which you can sample in "flights" if you want to try before you commit (these are 3 1/3 pint offerings), with Ed (the very friendly owner) trying different things on a regular basis especially seasonal offerings (the Chocolate Orange Porter and Black Forest Gateaux Porter were stunning for Christmas/Winter Ales).
The brewery offers a variety of other alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks for the non-beer drinker and has recently started to sell its own Gin. The beer is supplemented by visiting food vendors which range from Pizza, Burgers, Thai, Nepalese, Indian, Japanese, Greek to name but a few (check the website before visiting), these vary in price, quality and popularity but should be judged independently of the brewery
Yes the beer is at the top end pricewise but the chilled, family friendly atmosphere is worth it and the dog-friendly nature means there are always a number of man's best friend present. It can be busy or quiet depending on when you visit but there's always a welcome
A previous reviewer appears to have preferred the Gardeners Arms which is a few hundred yards away, sorry but the beer can't compete on quality even if it is cheaper and the atmosphere in there itself at times later in the day is worth a swerve.
翻译:家门口就有啤酒厂,真是太惬意了。我们几乎每个周末都会去遛狗,而且新厂区比以前拥挤的场地更适合酿酒,空间更大,桌子和卫生间也更多,这意味着 Ed 现在只在周五/周六营业,而不是每月一次。夏天可以坐在户外,最近新添的暖气也让冬天去啤酒厂也一样舒适。啤酒厂随时提供至少 16 种不同的啤酒,如果您想在下单前先尝尝,还可以“分批”品尝(每批 3 又 1/3 品脱)。Ed(非常友好的老板)会定期尝试不同的啤酒,尤其是当季啤酒(巧克力橙波特和黑森林蛋糕波特是圣诞节/冬季艾尔啤酒的绝佳选择)。
啤酒厂还为不喝啤酒的顾客提供各种其他含酒精/不含酒精的饮品,最近还开始销售自家的金酒。除了啤酒之外,还有各种美食摊位,从披萨、汉堡到泰国菜、尼泊尔菜、印度菜、日本菜、希腊菜等等(去之前请先查看网站),这些摊位的价格、品质和受欢迎程度各不相同,但评判标准应该独立于啤酒厂。
没错,啤酒的价格确实偏高,但凉爽、适合家庭的氛围绝对物有所值,而且这里允许携带宠物狗,这意味着这里总有一群狗狗陪伴着你。根据你到访的时间,这里可能热闹也可能安静,但这里总是热情欢迎你。
之前一位评论者似乎更喜欢几百码外的Gardeners Arms酒吧,抱歉,即使价格更便宜,啤酒的质量也无法与之匹敌,而且那里晚上的氛围也值得一去。
