Cerne Abbas Brewery Tap, Dorchester

As brewery taps go this is a great one. It’s a no-frills barn in a farm site, concrete floor, wide open , muddy car park and plenty of space outside including a barbecue and bar area. It’s reached down a rutted farm track, which you’d miss if you didn’t notice the unobtrusive sign on the main road. There is a small wooden bar counter in one corner, behind which 5 of their ales in barrels sit on stillage and are gravity dispensing. We tried three of their ales, all of which were in perfect condition. There was an additional box of beer from another brewery, plus a selection of bottled beers in a fridge. No food was on, but the landlord did offer to do a pasty run. They occasionally host live music for which tickets are required, but mostly they’re open all day every day except Sunday. Well worth seeking out.
