🚗 IMPORTANT NOTICE – CAR PARK CLOSURE THIS SATURDAY 🎆

A little heads-up for everyone joining us for Bonfire Night!

Our car park will be CLOSED this Saturday to allow the community to safely set up and hold the fireworks display behind the pub.

Please make alternative parking arrangements if you’re coming along to celebrate with us.

We’re sorry for any inconvenience, but safety comes first when we’re lighting up the sky!

Thanks for your understanding, and we’ll see you Saturday for a cracking night at The Brickies! 🎆🍻

🍺 WHAT’S ON THE HAND PULLS AT THE BRICKIES?

Right then, b**r lovers… we’ve got a couple of beauties on the pumps and another cracking one lined up. There’s no excuse for drinking boring b**r here! 😉

🍻 CURRENTLY ON TAP

🍺 PROPER JOB IPA – ST AUSTELL BREWERY

A proper job this one! A punchy West Country IPA packed with citrus, tropical fruit and a lovely hoppy bitterness. Goes down dangerously well… you’ve been warned!

🍺 STONE DEAD – LY MESTONE BREWERY (6.66%)

Not quite as scary as it sounds, but certainly not for the faint-hearted! A big, bold Imperial Stout with roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate and a warming finish. Dark, delicious and definitely not a lightweight!

🔜 COMING UP NEXT…

🍒 PLUM PORTER GRAND RESERVE – TITANIC BREWERY

Oh yes, we’ve got something special heading our way! Rich, smooth and packed with juicy plum, dark fruit and roasted malt flavours. A proper treat for the porter lovers.

THREE BREWERIES. THREE VERY DIFFERENT B**RS. ONE VERY GOOD REASON TO GET DOWN THE BRICKIES!

And remember, Bruce takes his b**r quality control very seriously. Unfortunately, he’s available for testing most days. 😂

Get yourselves down, grab a pint and put the world to rights.

THE BRICKIES – GOOD B**R, GOOD COMPANY, NO NONSENSE! 🍻

🍺 BRUCE’S B**R OF THE WEEK – STONE DEAD

This week Bruce has picked something with a bit of darkness about it… and no, we’re not talking about his sense of humour!

Introducing Stone Dead (6.66%) from Lymestone Brewery, a bold Imperial Stout brewed in Stone, Staffordshire.

🏭 A LITTLE ABOUT THE BREWERY

Lymestone Brewery is an independent, family-run microbrewery established in 2008 by Ian Bradford, affectionately known as ‘Brad the Brewer’. Based in the historic former Bents Brewery in Stone, Staffordshire, the family has built a reputation for producing characterful, award-winning ales.

🍫 TASTING NOTES

This is a rich, dark and full-bodied stout with plenty going on:

* Aroma: Deep roasted malt with notes of coffee.
* Taste: Roasted malts, bitter coffee, burnt toast and dark chocolate.
* Finish: A satisfying bitterness with hints of dark fruit, balanced by a smooth, warming body.

At 6.66%, this is certainly one for those who like their b**r bold!

🍻 BRUCE’S VERDICT

“Now that’s what I call a proper b**r! Dark, rich and full of flavour. It certainly isn’t one for the faint-hearted, but that’s just how I like it. You can’t beat a bit of Stone Dead!”

Come down, grab a pint and see what you think. Bruce has spoken, and we reckon he might be onto something!

Available now at The Brickmakers Arms.

💀 AND THE RESULTS ARE IN! 💀

We took the most-liked names, put them before our highly qualified (and possibly slightly questionable) judging panel of Brickies staff, and a decision has been made…

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and ghouls, please welcome our newest member of the team…

💀 RIGOR MORTIS MICK 💀
Stiff by day, legless by night!

Mick has had a bit of a rough time lately. Once a lively chap with a spring in his step, he’s now looking a little worse for wear. He’s lost a bit of flesh, doesn’t have much to say for himself and tends to just hang around the bar.

But don’t let his appearance fool you! Mick knows how to have a good time. He’s a real party animal, never complains about the music and is always the last one standing… well, technically, he’s always standing.

He’s already settled in nicely at the Brickies and we suspect he’ll be a regular fixture around here. Just don’t ask him to lend you a hand… he’s a bit short on those! 🍻

🏆 A BIG WELL DONE TO OUR WINNER!

TARRYN!

Please come to the bar to claim your mystery prize and take home your well-earned glory.

Welcome to the team, Mick! 💀

Will your suggestion be the one that gets immortalised in Brickies history?!

See you at the bar, if you dare! 🕸️🍻

🍷 W**E OF THE WEEK: VIÑA CERRADA RIOJA RESERVA 2019 🍷

This week, we’re heading to sunny Spain for a little glass of Rioja magic! 🇪🇸

Introducing Viña Cerrada Rioja Reserva 2019, produced by Bodegas Ugalde. This is a proper, full-bodied red with bags of character and just the right amount of oak-aged elegance.

🍒 What’s it like?

Expect rich, ripe cherries and juicy plums, with warming notes of vanilla, toasted oak and a gentle hint of spice. It’s smooth, rounded and beautifully balanced, with a velvety texture and a long, satisfying finish.

🌳 A little about the w**e

From Spain’s renowned Rioja region, this Reserva showcases the traditional style of Rioja reds, combining ripe fruit flavours with the complexity that comes from oak ageing and bottle maturation.

At 14% ABV, it’s a wonderfully warming choice for those cooler autumn evenings.

🍷 A glass or a bottle? You choose!

* 125ml glass: £5.75
* 175ml glass: £7.35
* 250ml glass: £9.45
* Bottle: £27.50

Basically, if you like your reds smooth, fruity and with a little Spanish swagger, this one deserves a spot on your list!

Pop down to The Brickmakers Arms and enjoy a glass with us. 🍷

🍺 BRUCE’S PICK OF THE WEEK: THE GLOAMING 🍺

This week, Bruce is bringing a little taste of home to The Brickmakers Arms! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Straight from his neck of the woods, we’re pouring The Gloaming from Loch Lomond Brewery! Loch Lomond is famous for its stunning scenery, beautiful loch and, apparently, now some cracking b**r too! 🍻

This is the second b**r we’ve had from Loch Lomond Brewery, and Bruce reckons it’s just as good as the first. High praise from our resident b**r connoisseur!

💬 Bruce’s thoughts:
“Well, they’ve only gone and done it again! A cracking b**r from back home. If the first one was anything to go by, I knew this one was worth a go. Scotland’s clearly got more than just wh**ky going for it!”

🍺 What can you expect?
The Gloaming takes its name from that magical time between daylight and darkness — perfect for settling in at the bar with a proper pint. Expect a b**r worth taking your time over, whether you’re a seasoned real ale drinker or just fancy trying something new.

Bruce’s verdict? A little taste of Scotland, a cracking pint, and definitely one worth trying!

Pop down to The Brickmakers Arms and give The Gloaming a go while it’s on the pumps. You never know, Bruce might even tell you a tale or two about home! 😉
