Iron Pier Taproom, Perry Street, Gravesend

Strongers . left this review about Iron Pier Taproom

Iron Pier Brewery is a brewery and tap on May Avenue Industrial Estate that is a brisk walk southeast of Gravesend town, but there are a few pubs to stop at on the way. A storm was looming during a recent Wednesday early evening visit so the marquee tent covering picnic tables out front was getting a battering from the wind. Inside in the warm there are three rows of long tables to the right of the entrance, two standard and one high, and the shiny steel brewery equipment is found across the rear. The serving counter is to the left where I imagine Iron Pier’s full range is available. The six cask options were Bitter, Wealdway IPA, Dark Mild, Mosaic, Killick’s Mill and Perry St Pale. There are also twenty taps across the back bar, eleven of which were the brewery’s own products. I’d not heard of any of the other nine, well apart from the Snail’s Bank Raspberry Ripple cider, and the three taps on the far right that were for wine. I was served a decent pint of Mild by a very friendly barmaid, but the posh Kent crisps were crap teeth breakers. These industrial estate brewery’s are far from cosy, but this one is done well, and I’d certainly return to try more of their beers.
