Quinno _ left this review about Left Handed Giant

Multi-level warehouse brewpub located in the trendy new development in the old George’s (latterly Courage) brewery. It's done-out quite well, although the distressed brick walls are a cliché and as mentioned below, it’s “functional and convivial, but not particularly comfortable”. GBG listed with of their two ales - my Mild was fine if approaching barrel end (NBSS 2.5). 30-odd kegs in addition. Music is of the Brizzle yuppie variety. No smoking or vaping outside which I found somewhat prissy. Very busy, so they obviously have worked their niche well.

As covered in previous reviews, this brew pub is functional and convivial, but not particularly comfortable. It’s a good place to come for a few beers and is enhanced by the choice of cider. We had an an enjoyable visit, some great beers and good banter with other customers. Guest beers were Creme du Chateau Best Beer, Orange Gose, Boundary Brauweiser and a challenging Logan at 11% abv. Playing it safe, I stuck with their own cask Dark Mild, which was a really good pint with a nostalgic twist. I’d definitely include in a crawl, but probably not make a night of it here.

An excellent review from PSM needs little addition,this is a hip and modern brewery tap.There are 30 unmarked keg taps on the bar ,some serving cider,some cocktail mixes but predominantly LHG craft keg beers,split on the description gantry above into styles such as Lager,Stout,Pale,IPA and Sour with the 5 guests listed seperately.There are two handpumps for traditionlists serving LHG Dark Mild and Pale.(Decent enough,NBSS 3).
Functional rather than inviting,I was on a crawl visit and so didn't have time to delve into the keg options,maybe next time.
