The Ale Way, Axminster

A small office which is part of the station complex, big enough inside for about 6 people, plus some space in the station yard for al fresco drinkers. There are about 4 bar stools, no tables, so it gets quite crowded, especially when a coach load of grockles turns up and starts procrastinating about what to drink. The friendly young staff though are patient, far more so that I would expect. Four hand pumps dispensing Taunton Vintage Cider, Cotleigh Barn Owl, RCH Pitchfork and Nuttycombe Doonicans, all in perfect condition. There was also a bank of taps with Courtney’s Silly Cow cider, Elgood’s Cherry, Utopian British Lager, New Bristol Duvet Vous and Quantock Titanium. A pretty good micro by any standards, well worth a visit, even breaking a train journey, but check opening times first.
