Tapps, Conwy

Will Larter left this review about Tapps

This is one of a small group of adventurous new pubs in small industrial buildings, not attached to any particular brewery, but focused on showcasing the products of numerous small, independent breweries. This one is in a yard between the Bank of Conwy on one side and the Albion on the other, which is pretty canny. Not to put too fine a point on it, this is a shed, but on a big scale, and laid out like a pub, with a bar counter at the back, seats arranged congenially in front and even a couple of snugs, which are not advertised as such, but are unmistakable when on your way to the toilets. A plethora of hand pumps had beers from Great Newsome, Oakham and Castle Rock, plus a few Welsh breweries like local Conwy and Dwy Afon (Two Rivers) , plus one from Cheshire. I went for Tatton Best (NBSS 3.5) and Conwy Welsh Pride, which was awful, but not through any fault of the cellarman. I replaced the latter with a stout (Stowt in Welsh) from Dwy Afon (which I rated 4 for condition on the NBSS but thought was a bit amateurish as stouts go). As an experiment in beer exploration I can't fault this, but if I lived in Conwy I don't think I'd be coming here all that often.
