Blind Tiger, Peterborough

A modern craft bar with a decent array of beers, allegedly twenty eight taps though I didn't count them, Ascapart Kimber was my choice and was a reasonable one. It's a bar that will appeal to some and not others but I would certainly call in again if in town.

Craft beer and cocktail bar, located in a prominent corner unit on the main walking route between the station and the historic city centre. Light inside due to the large window area, with modern furniture and decoration around the bar and in the novelty area further back. If I counted correctly, there are 24 keg taps and possibly one for cask in occasional use. Great range of styles and strengths, from which I selected NVB's Hop Stash Rakau Krush HBC630 (£3.30, half) almost at random.

A craft ale and coffee joint in a relatively modern shop conversion with big windows. There is a typical industrial feel, thanks to the conduit plates in the ceiling and some scaffold seating bays. A wall of 25 keg taps behind the bar offer a varied selection of unusual craft beers and a couple of ciders, far too cold and gassy of course but prices did not seem too bad (apart from the silly strong ones) with a number around £4.50. The usual can fridges and a couple of retro gaming machines complete the setup. Interestingly, they seem to can from the taps for takeaway. The overall feel is not too bad; I have certainly been to worse. Just needs a couple of non-gassy cask ales.
