Brewed Awakening, Ripley

This was formerly a wine bar called 'Sin', so the friendly barmaid told me. The huge mural opposite the bar was unearthed during the refurbishment and they decided to keep it. Apparently they sell a huge amount of real ale, which is always good to hear. It's a long pub with the bar on the left at the rear. A bit dark inside, but I really liked it here. 4 handpumps with 3 on serving, Arbor Shangri-La, Stardust Midi, and Leadmill Mellow Yellow. I had the Leadmill priced at £4.40 a pint. Plenty of room in here, they also have bands playing at the weekends. The lady here also recommended that I call into their sister pub, the Candlemaker, just down the street.
