Copper Beech Taproom, Worcester

Brewery Tap inside the brewery but seldom open (Thursday 5-11 & Friday 4-11 only). In the ground floor of a sixties block, possibly partly a former garage, generally L shaped with brewery and counter in the back of one arm stage and piano in the other. There’s another room with more comfortable seating and a rocking horse at the other end of the building. 6 pulls on counter with their range of cask beers, 10 keg taps to side with one Sociable beer, 2 ciders and the others from bigger and well known craft breweries Meantime, Magic Rock, Beavertown, and Tiny Rebel as well as the locals Hobsons and Deya. The Sociable beers are mainly traditional English style, not many American hops in use here and although the brewer has a beard he is over 40 and is a friendly chap who doesn’t bang on about any favourite craft hobby horses. It also has Edison bulbs, painted brick walls, a concrete floor, beers listed on a big screen and industrial fittings but still retains a middle aged vibe. Possibly the clientele and beer style gave me that feeling, or maybe it was just me as a middle aged man. Prices are reasonable £3 for cask, £4 for keg, regardless of strength, halves are half price of pints.
