Seven Stars, Penryn

Blue Scrumpy left this review about Seven Stars

The Seven Stars is home to the Hidden Brewery. The interior is light and airy and there are bare boards. Whilst I didn't explore the premises properly, choosing instead to sit in the window, there were at least 2 other rooms on different levels. One was down some stairs on the right-hand side, whilst another was upstairs to the rear. There is supposedly also a garden to the rear where the brewery can be found.

In the main bar, a TV was showing Olympic breakdancing. There were a few board games on some shelves. Nobody was eating, as our visit was mid-afternoon, but a specials board next to the bar suggested they did food. A quiz night was advertised and live music was promoted for every Saturday.

On the beer front, there were 3 ales from the brewery - Pale Ale, Summer Ale & Malted Barley Amber Ale. I opted for the latter and wasn't sure if it hadn't been pulled through properly or whether it was the end of the barrel, but I was on the verge of returning it.

I probably should have, as another customer ordered one and said it wasn't right. Indeed, he then ordered a different beer and that wasn't right too. He apparently hit lucky with a keg beer at the third attempt. The barman turned a couple of the clips round and poured at least one of the beers through. But I'd nearly finished mine, so decided not to query my beer quality.

Seemed a nice enough pub, but beer quality certainly seemed to be lacking on our visit.
