Lovely taproom and onsite brewery in WSM, opposite the Playhouse. Good variety of their own beers on tap plus a fridge of other craft beers from around the country.

Another of Weston super Mares gems. Cracking place with an awesome collection of beers. One place that must not be missed. The nitro stout is out of this world. Great atmosphere. Shame it can't be my local

Nice little taphouse with a good selection of ales. There were a couple of stout offerings the nitro stout was favourite for me. The food offering was great for a snack. The staff were friendly and helpful. Seating was limited and the window stools were less than ideal. All in all a nice little snug.

Small bar area as the brewing takes place at the rear of the premises. Nice selection of their beers at a reasonable price. Staff were friendly and polite. Music being piped through which was alright. Good visit.

This was a lovely brewery for drinking, situated in a compact building with the brewing equipment out there to be seen to customers! The lightbulbs with curves between them and signs like Nobody Gets Out Sober create a quirky vibe, staff were welcoming and talkative too. I really liked how the beverages are listed in black and white lettering then their coasters are shown at the side, counter is presentable too even for sitting at! I tried one of the ciders which was as fresh as you would expect down south in Weston, area is very clean throughout.
