@FEISTY, Bourne End

Komakino . left this review about @FEISTY

Located down a narrow lane parallel to Bourne End train station, the buildings' fascia is akin to a classic car showroom, but sits on its own grounds, with a couple of parking spaces and a yellow-painted pizza wagon parked up out front. A modern space inside, there's some seating to the right on entry, with the space narrowing, before opening up with a small bar with 4 x keg taps to your right (with 2 x further taps located behind, along with a Guinness font) and further seating. Neither of the 4 x keg taps were branded, and asking what was available and the styles was hard work, with the young barmaid professing not to know. A bearded colleague was a little more helpful, but wasn't able to help with my request for a WiFi code a little later on. A pint of their 6% West Coast pale (entitled HIAC) was 'enjoyed' for £6.10. There was another Feisty brew (Santiago) available, but the original explanation that it was 'fruity' made me think it was a sour (it wasn't). A large TV screen behind the bar screened the video to Kim Carnes' "Bette Davis Eyes" during my sojourn, and once I'd selected my beer, I did notice a large board that listed the available beers – only two were Feisty, with others from other brewers including Indie Rabble, so it's not quite the local brewery showcase it could be. Despite some of the misgivings, I quite liked the place, and it's on the revisit list, seeing as my work office isn't a million miles away from this.
