I can only echo the positive comments below and completely agree with Mr. Fs view on the Thornbridge/Burning Sky West Coast IPA. Just exceptional.
There are very places that would keep me from a nearby Organ Grinder but this is one of them and Loughborough is lucky to have them both.

Situated in a small shop unit,this is an excellent micro.There is a high bench along the left wall with modern tables and kegs to rest your feet.The small bar is at the rear left while there are more seats upstairs,some of which can be reserved.The welcome was friendly and knowlegeable on the beer options.On my trip the four ales were Pentrich Vivid Waves,Hadrian Farne Island,Buxton Monsal MILD and a Thornbridge x Burning Sky West Coast IPA in NBSS 5 condition and a brew using the Burton Union system that Thornbridge saved from Marston's.This was one of my pints of the year so I complemeted the barman on showcasing such an excellent ale ,he knows his stuff.Ale served in N&P branded glasses.
On keg there was Verdant PuTTTy and Braybrooke Keller and the fridges held a wide choice of cans and bottles.An absolute must visit when in Loughborough ,please do not miss out.

A splendid GBG2025 listed micro, a single room downstairs with a larger room up the stairs immediately in front of the door. The brick built counter is further back on the left, four pulls there and oddly if you’re a micro absolutist a quad T-Bar although with some interesting beers. The cask selection is equally odd with beers from very much smaller breweries, the clips being hand written for some. An interesting selection of mainly Belgian beers are in one fridge and more interesting craft ones in a second opposite the counter, a few more are on the shelves above. There are separate gents and ladies at the back. The decor is music related but not in an obvious way.
