ORIGINAL REVIEW November 2022

Opened in July 2022,this shop conversion offers 10 craft keg taps and bottled beer.It’s pretty basic inside with a rank of trestle tables making up the seating. A large flatscreen will play sport ,while the bar is at the rear. With large plate glass windows you are on display when drinking. However this is a welcome addition to the Ware drinking scene.

UPDATE

Now weathered in ,and the flatscreen has gone to be replaced by local artists work some for sale.Despite being a bare interior ,there is a community feel with meet the brewer events,tap takeovers and a quiz.The muzak was contemporary and gentle background. The rotating keg selection is from leading microbrewers and very knowledgeable and friendly advise comes from behind the bar. The owner is happy for cold food to be brought in to compliment the excellent beer ,but hot food is not allowed due to the smell.
A great addition to the Ware beer scene,it's all keg but very fine beer .I had a great session sampling 6 beers and will most certainly return.Not to be missed when in Ware,opening hours are generous and there is a steady flow of drinkers.
