Quiz this Sunday… unfortunately we will have to cancel this 😞
When we decided to apply for a temporary events notice to open our Tap Room at the brewery, we completely forgot about the quiz being that weekend 🙀🙀
But… this is extremely important for us. We are in a very precarious position where we are bordering on the brewery going bust!
This weekend could be our saviour… also, we find out next week what the council have decided …. Keep us in your thought and prayers 🙏🐈🍺

Like a bad Dr Who episode… our Prime-Cut Minister has morphed into a new version of the same garbage we’ve all come to expect from 7 PM’s in 10 years… can this PigMinister do anything positive? Or will his snout be stuck in the same trough of rotting pig swill as the previous squealing liars?! Time will tell 🤞🍺🐈🐷

We have pretty much reached our limit for comfortable viewing of the Semi-Final match this evening. If you've not booked or tried to book without a response, it may be a case of arrive and see if we can accommodate you. We'll try our best! We've tried to keep it to regulars and semi-regulars + friends... if unknowns arrive, there is a good chance they are being turned away.
