Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Exale Taproom

Probably the most appealing of the Blackhorse Beer Mile taprooms, with the entrance yard benefiting from some vegetation which acts as screening. The bar and indoor seating share space with the brewing vessels and storage areas, but striking the right balance between too cramped or feeling like a barn. I found 10 craft keg beers on tap, along with a couple of ciders, and their Best Bitter (£5.80) on the solitary handpump.

Cask was a single hand pump providing their own Best Bitter. Keg offering were a few guests, the Table Beer and the Imperial Brown Stout from Kernel and the Wild Wave cider from Addams, then their own brews of the Park Life Pale Ale, the McCool Irish Stout, the Skoosh session IPA, the Peach for the Stars peach & apricot sour, the Hops Don't Lie IPA, the Krankie Iron Brew Sour, the Lagerama pils and the Czechs Out pilsner.

Proper brewery taproom, the bar counter, and the seating nestled around the brewing equipment! There is some trestle table seating, some covered, out the front and then the suspended uPVC strips as an entry point a la industrial refrigerated space, nothing as fancy as an arch glass frontage here. The bar area is round the back of some large stainless-steel vats, concrete flooring with the bar counter in the corner with the taps etc on the bar counter, and tall stool seating at the bar counter. Seating via some banquettes serving tall circular tables with stools the other side thereof as the divider between the brewing equipment and the bar area. Some tall tables in the middle of the floor space and the open kitchen hatch on the left-hand wall. There is some banquette seating at the rear serving some tables and nestling under a small mezzanine seating area, not even at the height of the tallest pieces of brewing equipment. There is a DJ booth to the side of the mezzanine seating area. A beer fridge provides some takeaways, but seemingly not of their own quaffs. I think they have some decent beers and liked the vibe of the venue, quiet small scale but rather intimate.

Set in an old brick built industrial warehouse, it gives added interest and ambiance to the immediate surroundings. At the bar is one solitary handpump , on this occasion it was home to Crafty Currant Cider, twelve taps offered 10 Exhale beers and another cider, Adnams Wild Wave, I had Exhale Miami Weisse, nice enough.
