Billericay Brewing Co. Micropub, Billericay

This brewery and micropub are situated within easy walking distance of the town centre. As you approach, the small bar area is just to the right-hand-side of the brewery itself. The single room has a number of high bench tables and stools, with the bar at the far end. A blackboard on the left-hand wall lists the beers and ciders available, whilst further along the same wall are a couple of fridges and shelving containing bottled versions of their beers, along with guests. It was fairly quiet when we entered, but soon filled up, creating a lively atmosphere. Whilst not a traditional pub atmosphere (go to the nearby Coach & Horses for that), it was still enjoyable. The full list of Billericay Brewing Co. beers available on cask was Black Christmas, Christmas Blonde, Barista, Mayflower Gold & Zeppelin. The pub hosts a number of beer festivals throughout the year and apparently had had one the weekend before our visit. A couple of beers left over from the festival (MGV20 and MGV21) were soon added to the blackboard. Real ciders are served from boxes in the fridge. There were 2 from local producer Bertie's - Dabinett & Bramley and Obsession. I'd not seen the Dabinett & Bramley before and indulged in this 7.5% dry cider. Billericay Mayflower Pale & Mobberley Beer House Crush were Key Keg options. We also chose to take a few bottles away with us, but be warned - they don't come cheap.
