Totally Tapped, Nottingham

A former sweet shop with dark grey painted walls, 6 demi johns formed the lampshades hanging from the ceiling. Timber bench seating with single plank tables on a steel frame attached to the floor, act as extra slim tables. Five handpumps on the bar, with a choice of six keg beers on our visit. We went for North Riding Hallertau Blanc and Waen Brewery Lemon Drizzle on handpump. Music was played at a reasonable level and a good choice of rock music on Spotify. Another good addition to a Beeston pub crawl.

Totally Tapped is Beeston's second micro pub that is situated on the busy Chilwell road. Once inside there is a small oblong shaped room with the bar to the rear left,the floor is carpeted and the seating tables and chairs each side of the room and a bench seat to the front. There were five real ales on hand pump on the bar,i had a two halfs one of Abstract Jungle Foolish and Abstract Jungle Jackal,both drinks were very nice with the Jackal being the better one as it is a Porter,the other beers noted were Hop Craft Wean,Totally Brewed 4 Hop Men of the Apocalypse and Totally Brewed Crazy Like a Fox. Background music was playing and the pub was fairly busy on my Saturday afternoon visit. This is a decent micro pub,but similar to most i have done,so alright if you like talking about beer and pubs, but not if you want to talk about the price of fish in Tesco's. Pub visited 21/1/2017

Totally Tapped is a new micropub opened by the local Totally Brewed brewery as an outlet for their ales. It's not that large consisting of a square room with basic furnishings and a small serving area at the rear which has five hand pumps. There is also a selection of bottles and cans that I didn't look into. There was a music soundtrack playing but apart from that it's a genuine micropub. There were quite a few coming and going on the Saturday afternoon while I was there. It looks like the three Totally Brewed beers and two guests is going to be the standard arrangement here. The beers were Totally Brewed Chinook Single Hopman, Mr Jangles Voodoo Stout & Crazy Like A Fox and Hopcraft / Pixie Spring Golden Pixie & The Other Side. I went for the Voodoo Stout (£3.00 including discount) and the Hopraft Other Side (£3.10 including discount) both of which were excellent. I thought this was another micropub well worth a visit.

An excellent addition to the Beeston drinking scene, now fully open after its soft start at the end of December. Very small converted sweet shop with stools, benches and upturned kegs to sit on. corner bar with 5 hand pulls, of which 3 were Totally Brewed. On my visit they had Crazy like a fox, Punch in the face and the 4 hop men of the apocalypse. Nice clean unisex toilet at the back. Fridge with some interesting cans and bottles as well as shelves full of bottles. Also on but not tried, several cask ales and a couple of guest hand pulls. Right on the tram line from Nottingham, a must do if you are in my town.

Beeston's second micro, opening on 19.01.17, offering five ales on hand pull,seven craft beers on tap and fifty different bottles. Beers from Totally Brewed will feature regularly.
