Beeropolis, Burton On Trent Town, Burton on Trent

A straightforward micro in a small oblong room sparsely decorated in not-so-great mint green walls and some better bench wall seating/high tables round the periphery, though I struggled to get comfortable. No bar or servery, plod over to the blackboard and the owner will sidle up to you and fetch the beer from a cold store (I can only imagine how chaotic that must be when it’s busy). Four cask on my visit (Grasshopper Knee High, Blue Monkey Chocolate Orange, Thornbridge Jaipur and Uttoxeter Question Mark, a half of the latter was an solid NBSS 3.5) plus two Sam Smiths keg and some of their bottles as well as some ciders. No ales priced over £3.70, so a veritable bargain centre. Beers are available in thirds, which is a nice touch. Like many a micro it lacked a bit of atmosphere. Perhaps unusually for a micro, there's a tidy rear patio garden. Worth popping in, though I’d only stay for the one.
