The Wild Boar, Warwick

The Wild Boar has a front bar area with serving counter that supports premium and craft keg. I also counted six hand pumps that were drawing Slaughterhouse’s Wild Boar, The Pod People and Alright, Alright, Alright!, Windmill Hill Brewing’s IPA and Pale as well as Oakham’s Citra. There were also four craft ales available, but I went for the Pod People which was enjoyable. Behind the bar is a tile floored seating area and the cheering, and happy birthday signs, led me to believe that there is a function room at the rear. There was some folky type music playing in the background. I liked it in here, one for a revisit.

Pick of the pubs in Warwick for me. Good Beer Guide 2023 and a regular. Its the brewery tap for the Slaughterhouse brewery and had a wide range of their beers on. I tried (and enjoyed) Poking the Bear Blonde Ale. I also tried a craft New World IPA, which I am fairly sure is from Northern Monk. £6.50 for a 6%er. Very friendly owner, customers and pub dog. The first pub out of four where I could take off my mittens and coat on a freezing Jan afternoon, thanks to a roaring coal fire. Super handy for the station, so should be your opener and/or closer if on a crawl.

Great pub with a good choice of ales on. Slightly away from the main centre and better for it! Beers included Slaughterhouse saddleback and Isolator as well as guests such as Oakham Citra. I went for the saddleback which was excellent. A choice of craft ales too. Well worth a visit.

Arguably the best pub in Warwick City Centre. Its also a brewpub but I never noticed the brewing equipment. Two roomed with the action being in the larger room. 10 handpulls on the bar and a good variety of styles on. Definitely a must do if in Warwick. Possibly the best pub during my Warwick visit.

This one has been well described below. It's probably the smallest Project William pub I've seen. I was surprised to find that the Slaughterhouse brewery is actually in the pub with just a two barrel plant. Despite that, five of the nine beers from the ten hand pumps were their own, Saddleback, Snout Stout, Beer D'Eau and Hog Rider. The other four were Everard's Sunchaser, Hobson's Twisted Spire & Champion Mild and Ashover Butts Pale Ale. I went for the Butts Pale (£3.50) and Altbier (£3.30). The Butts was fine but the Altbier was horrendously sweet, like a mug of tea with 5 heaped teaspoons of sugar. The condition of it seemed OK so maybe there was an error with the brew. As well as having its own brewery inside this one has the added advantage of not being on the tourist radar.
