Well described, one large rectangular room with some comfortable booth seating opposite the bar, otherwise largely utilitarian. Lacking any real charm inside, it felt fairly depressing despite the raucous punk rock on the speakers. Wide selection of obscure beers on the taps, a bit difficult to read though and I mistakenly chose 2/3 of a fighting strength IPA… only realised they sold cask afterwards.

Yesterday was my first visit to Cafe Beermoth for over 6 years. It's a fairly inconspicuous bar occupying a large, modern building. There's a good range of both cask and keg beers along the bar. Whilst there are handpulls at the rear of the bar, there are no pumpclips on display and it's not easy to identify which of the beers listed are cask and which are keg.

However, on our Saturday afternoon visit, cask beers turned out to be Left-Handed Giant Beer Number 7, The Kernel Dry Stout Cashmere, Runaway Queen Bees & Stone's Throw, Cloudwater Strata In Your Heart, Squawk Pavo & RedWillow Faithless 191. Craft beers were Rivington Days of Candy & Poison of Madness, Schlenkerla Aecht Schlenkerla Eiche - Doppelbock, Cloudwater Good Bubble, Jester King Hazy IPA, 100 Degrees, Spon Three Year Blend & Doom Forge & Saint Mars of the Desert D'Or Mouse. There were no ciders that I could see.

I'm not a fan of the industrial decor and staff behind the bar seemed a bit gormless and were overhwelmed by a group of 7 of us walking in. In addition, there's no wifi here, which is particularly frustrating when there's no phone signal either.

This place undoubtedly has a great beer selection, but lacks in terms of atmosphere and service. Handy if you fancy something a little different, but not really a place to linger.

After a night of more random, yet gloriously bonkers pubs (Wheatsheaf, Mother Macs, Millstone), I am back on the GBG Ticking. Which is something of an anti-climax after the "all walks of life (and some unexpected) seen at the other pubs.

No questioning the beer range - 14 odd from Newbarns on a tap takeover. Plus other. Plumage Archer was worthy of the recommendations I had been seeing on Twitter.

However, in terms of atmosphere, it was a but identikit feel off long benches, massive bar, with little atmosphere. Sort of reminiscent of Head of Steam, Bar and Kitchen type places.

I would certainly come back for another Tap Takeover of interest.

REVISIT ON 9/12/23 - Same observations as before but upping my score for a superb Kernel Bitter Simmons 1880 on cask. Absolutely wonderful.
