This micropub is situated in what appears to be a pedestrianised area of Alton town centre. It is a single, medium-sized room with a unisex toilet in one corner next to the bar.
The barman was presumably the owner and seemed to be a friendly chap. Despite having 4 handpulls, just the one real ale was available. This was Plain Ales Incognito. They did however have a real cider - Cowfold Silly Moo.
The main focus here appears to be on craft beers, with 7 on - Siren Santo, Double Barrelled Ding, Better World Pallascan, Hophurst Porteresque, Vault City Mango Session, Full Circle Hoop & Deya Magazine Cover.
A worthy addition to Alton's drinking scene, but I'd hoped for a little more selection on the cask front.
There is a public car park just a short walk away, which conveniently for me is free after 6pm.

Newly opened in March 2020 only to be closed down by covid 19 a couple of days later, happily now reopened and what a breath of fresh air for the local beer scene. Single roomed as you would expect of a micropub but room for four or five tables inside plus some outside seating at the the front. There are eight keg options including a Cider plus four pump handles for cask beer, there was only two cask on when I visited but a sensible strategy in early post lockdown opening.I sampled three beers on my short stay, Wilderness Table Pale on cask and on keg Buxton Gate Keeper and Odyssey The Squeeze, all in good shape. Had a nice chat with the main man Jason for the hour I spent there,a really nice place and well deserving of a revisit.
