Four cask beers, all their own brews, Sober Sabro an IPA, Stout the Roof Off, Hop on Board a pale ale and I am the Best, not surprisingly a best bitter. Keg choices from their own stable were, the West Coast Pale, the HoppyTon NZ Pale Ale, the Pocket Full of Citra, Mango King a fruited sour and the Strawberry Sour. Guest keg beers were Full of Brightness a pale ale from New Bristol, Attack the Choc a milk stout from Pentrich, Spaten Oktoberfestbier, Paulaner Hell, Bavo Pils and the Hacker Pschorr Weissbier. In short, a good compliment of Oktoberfest quaffs. They had a good range (as far as I could judge) of ciders.

This is a smaller venue than their branch down near the station. It is modern bare boarded with regular tables and chairs in the front of the venue which has a glass frontage. The bar counter is against the left-hand wall towards the rear and there are some tall tables with tall, backed leather chairs. There was a large beer fridge as you would expect for takeaways. Music was heavy and whilst there were lots of good beers to try, I decided to move on after my pint of Hop on Board, but decent venue.
