Steve of N21 left this review about Skinners Brewery Tap Yard Bar
Skinners Brewery is a short walk away from the town centre and now sports a new outdoor drinking space which opened earlier this year. Branded the Tap Yard bar and cafe to give its full name, it is a large covered space with plenty of bench seating and wall heaters, and then a large serving bar that has several cask pumps and cask taps dispensing most of the current Skinners range.
You have to go inside for the toilets and here you will find the original Tasting Room with its views of the brewing equipment and the smaller Snug room still in situ for when the weather doesn’t allow outside drinking.
You can find all the same products in their city centre tap pub, the Old Ale House, but I thought the new external space was a good addition to the brewery and thought it worth the walk from the town centre to seek it out.
It’s closed on Sunday but open the rest of the week from 11am to 6pm and til 10.30pm on a Friday and Saturday.
