The Crafty Tap, Christchurch

Komakino . left this review about The Crafty Tap

A small bottleshop and taproom which offered 8 keg lines on my visit: Vibrant Forest Mantra, Dark Revolution Verve, Vibrant Forest Kaleidoscope, Barefaced Petrichor, Wild Weather Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires, Dark Revolution Orbital, Distortion Decibel and Hogan's French Revelation (a cider). A small bar at the far end of a small oblong room, with a central tall bench seat running along the middle of the room and tiny tall tables against the walls either side. A fridge to the right front of the bar contains crafty cans and bottles of wine with a crate-style shelving on the wall opposite holding a broader range of cans, ciders and bottles of red wine. "Meaty" sausage rolls and "proper" pork pie available for £5.50 and £5 respectively, served with pickled onions a choice of chutney, as well as traditional snacks in the form of crisps, nuts and scratchings. My Vibrant Forest Mantra was a decent drop, albeit £5.80 for the pleasure of a pint's worth. Beers are also available to takeaway, which I did with three of the keg options, albeit it did set me back half and arm and a leg.
