The tap for Spitting Feathers ales but it's so much more.Up some steps,you enter into a baronial hall building built in 1640 and with lots of features.A section of waddle and daub is behind a perspex screen,the sandstone fireplace behind the bar is impressive and the high ceiling creates lots of atmosphere .The church pew seating was made by the folk from Spitting Feathers and there is lots of natural light from the large windows.There is a small seating area to the right with an open kitchen behind,where a new team are now delivering meals from an eclectic menu,we arrived on a "soft launch" day when the new team were finding their feet so just focussed on the ale.and surroundings.
The choice on my visit was Spitting Feathers Night Shift,TBA,Session,and Thirst Quencher with guests in Wild Horse Pelydr,Triple Point Fresco and Marble Earl Grey IPA (fabulous,NBSS 4.5).There were 4 caft keg taps with exotics and some continental lager.
The welcome was friendly and chatty ,and any pub which carries such a suprior 6.8% guest will always get my vote.A must visit when in Chester for ale ,for the building and for the positive vibe from the young team.

It's been a few years since I visited the Brewery Tap so was pleased to re-visit on a recent Saturday evening. The main room was pretty full but there were a couple of tables free in the smaller room off to the right. However it is fair to say that most of the character is in the fascinating main room, which I am led to believe is a former Jacobean banqueting hall. This is the brewery tap for Spitting Feathers so naturally their beers dominate the eight hand pulls, but I also observed Marble Pint and Cheddar Valley cider on the pumps.

Food is served, for those so inclined.

Definitely plenty to choose from and an interesting building. Well worth a visit and I shall try not to leave it as long next time!

Fabulous main room with a high ceiling and magnificent carved fireplace, plain plastered walls and mostly sympathetic furnishings. Large quarry tiles as flooring. You can see into the cellar as you climb the stairs up to the bar. Eight pulls, one with cider and two with guests, the remaining five had a range of Spitting Feathers beers. Not my favourite brewery but the “Stout” was quite drinkable however at 4.4% it ain’t a stout it’s a weak Porter. There are also single tall keg fonts for Estrella, proper Budvar Budweiser and a couple of Hacker-Pschor beers, a separate low T-bar has half a dozen craft kegs. Didn’t go in the room on the right, although there was an extraordinary young gal in a pink fifties style dress and with purple hair in there.
