Everyday Brew Co.Taproom, Uckfield

Visited 08/05/26. Visited previously as 360 Brewing Taproom on 31/08/24. Single handpump offering the 360 Brewing Bluebell Sussex Best. Keg craft offering of several of their own beers the Perchance cold IPA, the Haze the hazy pale ale, the Free Fall cider, and the Fruit Fall berry cider. Guests were the Robust Porter from Burning Sky, the Chug the AF beer from Mash Gang, the Kernel Table Beer, three from old proprietor of the space 360 Brewing, the Mango & Jasmine sour, the Brighton Session IPA and the Pavillion Helles lager plus then the Pelham Amber London bitter from the Nook Brewery. Industrial premises on the Bluebell industrial site off the main road not too far from the Bluebell Railway station. Set up and run by former staff of 360 Brewing after they moved out and downsized their brewing operation. There are some trestle tables out the front then inside on the lime green pained concrete flooring are a few tall tables to the right of the entrance up the side that houses the beer fridges, a cold fridge for ice cream sales and a set of shelves housing the wine offering. More tables to the left of the entrance with regular chairs or trestle style benches. The bar counter is along the rear wall, and taps reside on the rear wall with the pizza oven in the left-hand rear corner. Was popular on my visit with a steady stream of people in to eat and drink.

Located in the old 360° Brewing industrial unit where they haven’t bothered to rebrand the A-board directing passers-by to the door, Everyday Brew Co is a bar, café and pizza restaurant found on Bluebell Industrial Estate in the Sussex countryside. The high-ceilinged interior is open plan with a tiled wooden topped serving counter across the rear where taps across the centrally tiled back bar were pouring eight keg options from Loud Shirt, Burning Sky, Mash Gang and 360°. The two Everyday options were their cider and Bluebell Best Bitter which was the lone cask option. On the left-hand side of the counter is a hot cabinet with sausage rolls etc. and in the left rear corner is a proper pizza over. The right-hand side of the counter is used as a coffee station, but I went for 360°’s Brighton Session IPA (£5.95) that was served by a very friendly guy who offered for me to have a taster of whatever I wanted, without asking. The counter faces rows of bench tables, many of which were reserved for later in the day, but there was only one other customer during my recent Friday mid-afternoon visit. The décor is basic, some walls have been skimmed but not painted, but there is a drum kit atop the two toilet cubicles in the front right corner and there’s a green painted motorbike in the front window, although I’m not sure if this was decoration or was just being safely stored during a staff member’s shift. Up the right-hand wall is a fridge and some shelves that are lined with bottles and cans for sale. I’d certainly use this place if it was nearer my house, but having to cadge lift from the misses for an hour round trip into the deep Sussex countryside isn’t very practical so I think it will be a while before I visit again.

Bright modern taproom, housed in the former 360° Brewing premises but not currently operating as a brewery. Square open room under a high ceiling, with the bar, café counter and pizza oven at the back, and benefiting from south-facing windows beside the entrance. Also has some wooden benches by the side for the better weather. Several 360° beers (contract brewed at Hepworths for the time being) still sold, including the Bluebell Best Bitter (£4.60) served from the cask by gravity in the back room, and others from the keg taps on the bar-back. Their own Brighton Helles and Everyday Cider are also available, and these are currently made off-site too.
