Buxton Brewery Tap House, Buxton

Blackthorn _ left this review about Buxton Brewery Tap House

Conveniently located just a short stroll from Buxton’s crescent, this is, as it’s name suggests, the tap house for the Buxton Brewery and is housed in a slightly odd shaped building with very limited outside seating, just one picnic bench and a couple of stools next to a beer barrel.

Internally it’s a clearly been renovated at some point and now has a fairly contemporary feel to it, albeit with a few traditional touches as well with some parts of the wall being fresh plasterwork, but also some good sized sections of exposed stonework which had been nicely cleaned up. Flooring was a mix of sanded wooden boards and slate style tiling, whilst the colour scheme was the usual Farrow & Ball shades of cream, green and taupe. A wooden shelf around the top of the wall held a few of the brewery’s branded jugs which were presumably available to purchase, and there were a few bunches of hops and some fairly lights strung from the ceiling, but little else of any note. A couple of blackboards highlighted forthcoming events such as a live music and a quiz night.

Beers on tap were all their own as might be expected and on this occasion consisted of Right to Roam, Plan Bee, Let There be Light and Monsal Mild. Several more keg options were listed on a board including Nuts & Crosses, a peanut butter milk stout which sounded intriguing. I subsequently bought a can in a local shop, but have yet to try it. The solitary cider meanwhile was Hogan’s.
