Up with Downton

The second brewery that I visited that day was just over the road. The tour had finished and people were naturally helping themselves to the charitable beer on offer and chatting on beer barrels placed outside the brewery. The second group began to arrive so I headed over to the other side of the industrial estate. There was no tour on offer here; instead it was a brewery bar set up to be run as a pub for the evening which was open to the public as well. The bar staff were very friendly and were happy to chat about the beers and let us wander in amongst the fermenters. There was also a second bar outside in a patio area consisting of a garden shed which sold guest beers for the villagers. Guess most of their pubs are food-based as they’re near to the main road. The beers weren’t free here but prices were very reasonable and I began to feel a bit merry.
