Blue Scrumpy left this review about Full Circle Brew Co

I can't say that I've ever been a fan of Full Circle beers, but their brewery and taproom is quite impressive. It is located in a warehouse, with the taproom being upstairs on a mezzanine level with windows overlooking the brewery. It has a high ceiling with artwork on the walls available for purchase. With the high ceiling, the room felt quite echoey with the background music almost inaudible and conversation dominating.

The bar is situated near the entrance corridor. It has a tiled bar back with shelves for spirits, a couple of Untappd screens listing the available beers and some casks above them. 4 handpulls were clipped with Full Circle Pale & Stout. The remainder had a couple of turned clips, one being a Hogan's cider. Keg beers are dispensed from the tiled wall with the list showing Full Circle Repeater, Hoop, Rotator, Looper, Catch The Pigeon, Dead Canny, Propellor, Water Sucks, Goose Chase, Dark Horse & Grapefruit Looper, Turning Point Wrong Sized Space Suits & Schofferhoffer Prickly Pear Cactus. I chose the cask stout which was a little thin and far too cold for my liking. Payment is card only.

A pizza oven adjacent to the bar was doing a brisk trade and smelt very good. We were very tempted and ended up craving pizzas for the remainder of the day. There were offers for a pizza and a pint on Friday's & Sunday's until 4pm.

Children are welcome. There are various games available to play and Full Circle merchandise can be purchased.

Along the corridor from the taproom was a separate room which can be hired for properties. A baby shower was being hosted there. Back down the stairs on the ground floor, there is a further room for functions with its own bar. I got the impression that brewery tours are hosted from there.

To the front is a pay and display car park. For those like ourselves only paying a brief visit, car parking is free for an hour.

I thought this was quite an impressive place. The beer I chose was not the best, but I'd return to give their keg beers and pizza a go.

Full Circle Brewery has been in operation for two and half years and supplies to seven European countries, plus Singapore. They spent a whopping £1million on the brewing equipment, which can be viewed from the upstairs first floor bar and walkways.
Four handpumps, but unfortunately not in use on our visit. However there was a choice of 11 craft beers served from taps behind the bar. We went for the Idle Hands Stout and Repeater Pale Ale. I thought their beers were excellent and prices were ok in here. They also have a well stocked wine outlet downstairs and purchases can be made from the upstairs bar, even when the bar is shut.
