Cambridge Brew House, Cambridge

A designer brewpub aiming squarely at the student market with various offers and discounts, and even table football. The on-trend interior is furnished much as you might expect, with the brewing section behind glass at one end and the other end set out for diners. The cask offering was five of its own ales plus one guest in Barsham Oaks: the beers were well-kept but seemed a bit lacking in flavour and I found them disappointing.

Visited a couple of weeks back while staying in Cambridge. Made this my first visit of the crawl as I was keen to try their own ales, being a brew pub. There were 7 or 8 cask pumps plus several keg taps. At the time of my visit they had two of their own beers on cask plus a cider. I had a Night Porter at £1.90 for a half, a delicious fresh porter. The brewery is visible from the bar area. Loads of old cans decorate the bar and other knick-knacks including a jar of old cigarette playing cards and another of empty matchboxes. Pleasant décor and atmosphere to match, bare boards, music playing, sacks of malt stacked up near the brewery door. Definitely worth a visit!
