Blue Scrumpy left this review about Tom's Tap
A kind of brick built warehouse situated to eastern side of the railway line, just north of Crewe station. It's a place that I've seen many times from the train and hoped to get to one day. However, it's a good 20-minute yomp from the station on foot. We decided to take a taxi, which took just as long, given the driver took us straight into a traffic jam. He'd also never heard of the place, which seemed a bit strange for a driver based in the town.
Walking into the right-hand side, the bar is immediately in front of you. Menus on the bar list the extensive beer and cider selection. The menu does not specify if any of the beers are cask, but I'm fairly sure they were all keg. Similarly, some ciders were still and some were sparkling. So, you may have to ask a few questions.
Off to the left was a separate room with more seating, whilst there is further seating outside, some of it undercover.
Beers from Tom's Tap themselves were Table Beer Citra, Mango Ice Cream Pale, Crewe's Control, You're Gonna Need A Bigger Moped, ESB, Mighty Stout, Dark Mild, Tamerlane Heritage IPA, Crewesch, California Common, Hillbilly Engineering - Citra, Orange Peel Wit, Return of the Chadi & 2022 Barley Wine. There was also a collaboration with Staggeringly Good called Megalodon Moped. Guest beers were Neptune Wooden Ships & Meer & Thornbridge Lukas.
Ciders were Ascension Shimmy, Pilot, Dance Commander, Punk Lemonade, Jewel Runner & Star Rover, Ross-on-Wye Somerset Redstreak/Major/Foxwhelp, Raison D'Etre, Ellis Bitter 2022 & Three Bitterwseet Blend, Nightingale Discovery & Kent Cider Company Sicilian Lemon Cider, Toffee Apple Cider, Strawberry Cider & Elderflower Cider.
With other pubs/bars to visit in Crewe and not much time for a drink, I tried a couple of ciders I'd never had before. Both were in good condition, despite the large selection and the reasonably limited opening hours of the bar. So, they must get a decent throughput of customers. Although everything is kept fairly cold.
This place isn't exactly a comfortable pub, but its excellent beer and cider range is enough of an attraction for me. I suspect I'll be back here one day to try some more.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Tom's Tap
Quite an imposing line up of taps along the back wall when venturing in. A menu board on the tables helped us navigate somewhat through the selection of 36 beers and ciders. We spoke to the owner who was an interesting character and we were really impressed with the beer and cider emporium he had built up along with his brewery. I've posted the beer list for a perusal of beers and ciders on our visit.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Tom's Tap
Typical micro-brewery tap in a light industrial unit, and in this case just over the West Coast Main Line from the town centre. However, despite the rather uninspiring surroundings, it was doing good business early on a Wednesday evening. With 30+ of their own and guest beers and ciders available, the choice was huge, but with no handpumps, it is anybody's guess whether any of these are real ale from KeyKegs. However, I certainly enjoyed my Dark Mild (£3.60).
