The family-operated Brewery announced the taproom following the recent expansion of their brewery, which the new bar overlooks.

Named The Den - the new venue seves beers including Inception, Lit and Kodiak, all brewed onsite at their Spindle Street brewery.

The Den is the perfect place to pop-in for a pint with friends, and is also available for hire for private functions, events and parties.

The state-of-the-art site on Spindle Street was named The Den, by manager Oliver Dodwell.

"I called it The Den because I wanted the differentiate the taproom from The Beartown Tap [of 18 Willow Street], while still keeping it within the brand," he said.

The Den is perfectly positioned to watch the team at work, with a beer in hand. The beer menu will be ever changing and will be served alongside a selection of wines, spirits and coffee.

An ideal venue for a post work-pint or for functions, The Den is available for private hire. Brewery Tours as well as beer and gin tastings will also be available.
