Brew York Beer Hall, York

Located upstairs next to the brewery tap and with its own door this is a big fairly bare and industrial room. Seating is all a bit “firm” on stools and benches. Look out for the multi-colour LED’s the Coke Can and 18th century admiral artwork. At one end is the counter with 40 keg taps, yes 40: on the back wall although to be fair 4 had cider on. Clear pipe work above each tap shows the colour of the beer/cider. The choice is displayed on four big screens in a block, it’s probably best to order by number as in Birmingham’s Welly. You could also play “beer bingo” by picking a random number between 1 & 36. All beer is priced in thirds but I got a pint for a bit less than three times the third price. The beer list alternates with adverts for the brewery and venue. About half the beers were Brew York the others from a range of Yorkshire, German and Belgian brewers. To one side of the counter is a food service area with burgers and other stuff; what on Earth is “pigs head crubeen donut” when it’s at home?
