Sketchy part of town. Its been a while since I have seen a car with its window freshly smashed in. The must have left something on display, as car stereo theft ain't a thing any more. Industrial unit location, with some bench seating and a pool table. Interesting beers served by knowledgeable staff - as you would expect from a tap room. Most were £5 a pint. In the Good Beer Guide 2022. Excellent music choice. I had to stay until the Nine Inch Nails track had completed. Could tie in with a few more in the area. As long as you walk in pairs. And go on the train.

Brewery and tap room located in the usual sort of anonymous industrial estate unit. There are a few canteen-style tables in front of the bar counter (behind which lies the brew plant), plus a couple of tables out in the yard. With nine of the ten taps on the bar-back in use (plus a handpump used occasionally), there was an excellent range of interesting styles available. I went for the new Green Hop IPA (£5.00) but could easily have gone for any of the others. NB - The apparently keg beers are actually all KeyKeg, so real ale.
