I was, unusually, at a bit of a loose end this afternoon, with my other half out, and no urgent tasks to fulfill, so, having already been up to purchase bottled beer, I popped up (by bus) to the ever-lovely Backyard Brewhouse to see their bar in action.

This doesn’t count as a taphouse tour visit, as I went alone- the rules demanding 3 participants- and anyway, arguably, we’ve done Backyard’s taphouse, though that will probably be a point for debate.

Lets get this straight: it’s an industrial unit, on an industrial estate, but with predictably brilliant beer, and a relaxed atmosphere in the sunshine, and a welcome from those nice people that run it, I can think of many worse ways to spend a few hours, and it’s a great idea. Set up a bar, get a few reclaimed-from-a pub tables and chairs, and serve great beer.
