Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Runaway Brewery Tap

Quite a nicely done taproom, down by the River Mersey in a converted factory, separated from the brewery by a glass door on the left-hand side. Simply furnished, but a step up from the usual canteen-style tables. Ten craft keg beers from the bar-back taps, plus a Session Pale and the Columbian Expresso Stout (£4.80) from the pair of handpumps.

Will Larter left this review about Runaway Brewery Tap

A plain industrial building beside the river as it rushes out of Stockport. The breweing kit is in the left hand side, with the bar ahead and refectory tables and chairs on the right. There's a couple of hand pumps, but my eye had been caught by the blackboard listing the 10 keg offerings, among which was a black IPPA, Only After Dark 6.0%. OK, it's only a keg beer but it was wasn't too fizzy for my liking, and just a little too cold. The full list was a bit too heavy on pales, saisons and sours, but another time I might have been tempted by the 9.9% barley wine at £4.30 for a half. The view of the river through the window might be enough to bring me back...
