A pub is offering their micro brewery cask ales once again.
The Barge and Barrel has recently undergone a refurbishment and the attached micro-brewery, which has always been one of the pub’s unique selling points, has been incorporated back into the pub.
Real ale aficionado and licensee, Andrew Firth, says “The addition of our own brews is the icing on the cake.”
Since re-opening the pub in November 2011, lessees Greg Wright and Eddie Geater have built a loyal cask ale following in the pub and are now taking the business further by introducing the long-awaited micro brewery ales.
Eddie, who has previously won awards for his cask creations, explained: “We were looking for a site with real ale potential, where we could brew to our own award-winning recipes.
“Having spent a year assessing customers’ tastes and completely renewing all the brewing kit required for this style of operation, the ales will be launched on August 14.”
The Park Road pub is part of the Punch Taverns group.
