Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Indian Brewery Taproom
Very interesting brewery and taproom in a converted steel foundry building, with massive sliding cranes still high up above the main hall. The brewing vessels are located at the far end, behind the very large screen for TV sport, with the bar on the right-hand side and a small mezzanine opposite. Marginally upmarket canteen-style tables, but understandably the whole place has a semi-industrial look (genuine in this case, unlike your typical BrewDog...). With four of the six handpumps in use, I found three of their own beers - Royal Beast, Indian Summer and (of course) the IPA (£4.95) - along with Kaleidoscope from Wiper & True. Also has plenty of their own and guest craft keg beers from a long row of taps on the bar-back.

Interesting building - with the large screen attached to the still working crane system, so it can be lowered and moved around.
Plenty of space inside with long tables. Food orientated with pizza/curry hybrids being popular. Beers were home produced.
It was the pumping music that meant it wasnt for me. Couldnt talk to the person opposite without shouting.

This building was purpose built as a steel foundry in the 1980s. The bar was situated over on the right as you enter and the beer board in large lettering was above the bar area, along with clip boards with more beer info. The most remarkable thing about it was the price of the beers wasn't to be seen anywhere. I mentioned this to a staff member and he told me that they don't display the prices as the beer fluctuates in price constantly, first time I've heard that story.
Four Indian Brewery beers and five guest beers on keg and three cask, plus two keg ciders. The cask beers were Royal Beast, Three Acres Galaxy's Rain and Session pale, these beers were a whopping £6.10 a pint. I tried their Juicy Mango on keg, which was £6.90 a pint with only the slightest hint of mango. They also do Indian topped pizzas for £16.

Large industrial space, still has cranes in situ, beautiful building and well laid out tap hose with snaller mezz area. Food and drink excellent. Spoilt a bit by the pumping music even in the middle of the day

Large taproom for the Indian Brewery. Plenty of seating and the footie on the enormous screen. Lots of people eating and the food smelt fantastic.
3 cask and a good selection of keg beers on. My pint of Royal Beast was excellent. Pool table and a dartboard upstairs. I liked it here and will be calling again. Well worth a visit.
