Blackthorn _ left this review about The Two Brewers

A pleasant and attractive looking thatched pub directly opposite the village green, I wondered at first whether this was still a pub or if it had been converted to a house. It still had the sign up, but the plain wooden door looked to be firmly shut, and all the curtains drawn. Fortunately though it is still a pub, and a very pleasant one at that.

It’s divided in to two halves. The bar top the right is probably the cosier of the two, with a low beamed ceiling, exposed stone walls and a massive stone built fireplace taking up almost the whole of one wall. An unusual, black brick, circular chimney with a copper skirt was above the fire, and there were various accoutrements about such as horse brasses, a saw and what looked to be several old fashioned brass blow lamps hanging from the lintel. Flooring was a mixture of carpet and wooden boards near the brick panelled bar counter. There was some white wood panelling in the bay window, a few pictures of the village on the walls and a TV recessed in to an alcve which fortunately was not in use. An old leather sofa with a low table was opposite the fire, along with a couple of other tables and chairs and a few stools at the bar.

The bar to the left had a flagstone floor and a few logs burning away on the fire. To the rear was a pool table. Landlord was a friendly chap, and the locals congregating at the bar seemed friendly enough as well. No food is offered here.

Beers on tap were Silverstone’s Pit Stop and St. Austell’s Trelawny. The solitary cider was Aspall’s Suffolk. All in all a great village pub.
