The Brewery Tap, Ware

The better of two pubs I visited in Ware early on a Friday afternoon, this one is set on the High Street and had attracted a few locals who were sat or stood at the bar. There is a small amount of seating in the bar area at the front, but the pub stretches back some way with plenty of other seating. Off to the left-hand side is a covered outdoor area providing further drinking space. Old pictures of Ware can be found throughout the pub on the walls. However, one wall to the side of the bar is completely covered with pennies. TVs were also on and I believe they were showing horse racing, but nobody including myself seemed interested. I'm not sure who this was once the Brewery Tap for, but these days it is run by Greene King with enough guest beers to satisfy the real ale drinker. The house beer from Greene King was Ware House Ale. Their Coronation Ale was also on, with guests being St Austell Tribute, Timothy Taylor Landlord & Oakham Citra. I quite enjoyed my Coronation Ale, which I think had only been tapped that day. It's likely that I was the first to sample it. Along with the Crooked Billet, I would say that this pub is one of the two best in town.
