Tap Social Movement, Botley, Oxford

A brewery tap in an industrial unit on a trading estate – enticing, eh? To be fair they've done a decent job inside if you like your industrial hipster chic, with colourful rugs covering the scree floor, a variety of seating and wall decor including local artwork for sale, plus a load of red painted chairs nailed to the wall for some reason. All keykeg (but technically the real ale variety) here with 9 of the 10 taps operational, dispensing Tap Social beers over a wide variety of styles. All bar one, which seemed to have run out of carbonation, were excellent. There’s no doubting the quality of the brew craftsmanship here. Of note is that the brewery provides training courses for people serving prison sentences and provides one-on-one support in securing permanent employment - which makes your beer taste that little bit nicer. If you’re in Oxford and want to try something different, this is worth seeking out.
