Whitby Brewery, Whitby

Mid-sized brewery tap located in an old looking but fairly modern building opposite the ancient abbey, you enter into a tiny room with a servery (four pulls and bottle shop) then can pass through into the brewing area which is set out with pallet tables and seating on plastic casks. The tables are covered in graffiti so don’t forget a pen, an LP record topped with a bottle of artificial flowers decorates each table. Other than some of the brewing vessels and a pizza oven, there’s a small stage which on this occasion housed a drum set. Additional seating and toilets are outside. It’s the brewery tap so presumably the beer’s as good as it’s going to get.

Through the previously mentioned glass doors you are faced with four hand pumps all from Whitby brewery. I had a fine IPA @ 5.2% ABV. The room to the right has been opened up to provide far more seating. It's just a shame where it is as this place is well worth coming back to.

Tiny bar in one corner of the brewery, there are only two tables/5 chairs and limited standing space. There are some benches outside if the weather is fine. Fine location nest to the Abbey and high on the cliff. Accessed through the farm/brewery yard and then via a sliding glass door. There is a display case showing the bottles you can purchase. 3 beers were on during my visit and the quality was exceptional! Opening times 11am -5pm
