Chain House Brewing Co.Tap, Preston

A tap room in a small brewery. It's a bit hidden and is situated in a small warehouse with all bare brick. 12 taps for crafty nonsense and 2 handpulls at the end of the bar. It's not brilliant but it is acceptable though the cask is on the steep side.

Half brewery / half tap, that can be a puzzle to enter since the little door in the front shutter isn't in use and you have to negotiate the courtyard at the back of Lost to find the entrance. Tidy, if spartan, bar area in front of the smallish brewing vessels. Ten craft beers in a range of styles and origins available from the row of taps on the bar-back, plus a couple of cask ales from a pair of handpumps at the end of the counter. After some consideration, I went for one of the latter; the 6.0% Elevated NEIPA collaboration with Drop Project (£5.10).
