No cask. There were ten still ciders and a single keg cider that was Refraction from Isaac Cider. A single draught AF option from Northern Monk then a good offering of craft keg beer of the Steady Rolling Man pale from Deya, the House Party IPA from Lervig, the Cutting Loose IPA from Floc, the Gelato banana & raspberry coconut smoothie from Funky Fluid, the Sabra Cadabra stout from Holy Goat, the You Can't Control IPA from Polly's Brew, the Show Me What's What NEIPA from Verdant, the 28 Brews Later NEIPA from Bearwood, the Labyrinth APA from Green Duck and their own Craft Republic lager called On Track.

This is a bare boarded glass fronted taproom that feels like it is quite remote from other venues but is only a medium walk. The bar counter is along the right-hand wall with seating via regular and tall tables around the glass frontage and then there are plenty of regular tables in the middle of the floor space. No obvious screens, nice lighting, and a pleasant music soundtrack. There is some seating outside the glass frontage but although it was a nice sunny evening it was way too windy to sit outside. There are some beer fridges in the front right-hand corner before the start of the bar counter. Was a popular venue on my mid evening visit and I spotted they have regular beer tastings.
