Siren Craft Brew - Reading, Reading

Quinno _ left this review about Siren Craft Brew - Reading

Brand new craft beer bar run by Siren at the base of a newly built development. Not exactly an eye-catching exterior but inside is done to a high spec and looks the part. Some semi-industrial stylings and Scandi-chic, you could be drinking in Stockholm. The bar has a very neat set of curved wooden beams running above it. At the bar are 24 keg beers (15/7 in Siren’s favour), 1 cider and 2 cask (over four pumps), both Siren. I tired a few of the keg beers alongside one of the cask, their Liquid Mystique (not to be confused with the much superior Liquid Mistress) which was a rather insipid and watery brew, though may have been three or four off the bottom (NBSS 2.5). Pricing is ambitious (my pint of 4.4% cask should have cost £6.30 but it was 50% off for the session, phew!) so at that level of coin I doubt it’ll see much of my business. Although given its location at the run-down end of Friar Street opposite ropey late night student bars, a grotty Spoons, McDonalds and a titty bar, perhaps the pricing strategy is a form of customer filtering.
