Totally Tapped, Nottingham

I have been in here several times since it opened and am always warmly greeted by the slightly crazy Kiwi that mans the bar. The beer is always good, with the majority coming from Totally Brewed. The brewery uses the micro to trial its new brews, although this might stop when the new tap opens on Canning Circus in Nottingham. Always worth popping in for a pint on a crawl round Beeston, they also do decent wine and coffee if you really must.

One room with the bar to the left rear. Many bottles and cans opposite - the cans were in a fridge. Seven keg offerings of a good strength and five real ales including one @ 7.0% ABV. Many Totally Brewed beers to be sampled. Worth a revisit.

A former sweet shop with dark grey painted walls, 6 demi johns formed the lampshades hanging from the ceiling. Timber bench seating with single plank tables on a steel frame attached to the floor, act as extra slim tables. Five handpumps on the bar, with a choice of six keg beers on our visit. We went for North Riding Hallertau Blanc and Waen Brewery Lemon Drizzle on handpump. Music was played at a reasonable level and a good choice of rock music on Spotify. Another good addition to a Beeston pub crawl.

Totally Tapped is Beeston's second micro pub that is situated on the busy Chilwell road. Once inside there is a small oblong shaped room with the bar to the rear left,the floor is carpeted and the seating tables and chairs each side of the room and a bench seat to the front. There were five real ales on hand pump on the bar,i had a two halfs one of Abstract Jungle Foolish and Abstract Jungle Jackal,both drinks were very nice with the Jackal being the better one as it is a Porter,the other beers noted were Hop Craft Wean,Totally Brewed 4 Hop Men of the Apocalypse and Totally Brewed Crazy Like a Fox. Background music was playing and the pub was fairly busy on my Saturday afternoon visit. This is a decent micro pub,but similar to most i have done,so alright if you like talking about beer and pubs, but not if you want to talk about the price of fish in Tesco's. Pub visited 21/1/2017
