Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Hop Tub
Micro-brewery taproom and kitchen with more tables than initially appears as there is a larger space beyond the small front bar (all with a semi-modern look with solid wooden furniture). Some of the brewing vessels can be seen through a door through leading to a side room that looks like it was formerly used by a vehicle. Primarily a craft keg bar, with a mixture of their own beers, several Lakedown collaborations and a cider from the 13 taps on the bar-back. Also has a couple of handpumps for guest ales, with Hand Brew's Bird (£6.00) being served on my visit.

Classy micropub vibes at this new brewpub in the small and attractive Sussex village of Hurstpierpoint. A smart garden area is now open (part of it under cover) to add to the tables inside. Wood features heavily, both as flooring and seating so, even with blankets over the benches, you can look forward to a numb bum if you're here for a lengthy session.
Beer you might sample on such a session comprises a couple of cask ales (360 Best and a Brew York Pale on this occasion) supplemented by 10 or so keg beers, around half of them from the in-house brewery which occupies a small garage-type room on the left. If you prefer, you can get a can from the fridge, at prices considerably more reasonable than some I've seen. An extensive wine list makes a difference for this kind of venue. To round off the offer there's a short menu, principally burgers, and starting at £10, which seems pretty fair, with veggie and vegan options as well.
All in all, a quality place which is well worth a visit.
