Description
Damn Good Beer Brewed in the Centre of Cambridge:

You don’t get to call yourself a Brew House without backing it up. We do.

Right in the middle of our pub sits a working microbrewery. Vanessa runs it. She’s our Head Brewer, and she doesn’t mess around.

The taps rotate. There’s always something new. Show up and find out what’s on – your mouth’s been waiting for this.

Want to see how it’s made? Book a brewery tour or experience day. Vanessa will take you behind the scenes. You’ll sip, swirl, sniff (yeah, sniff) – and actually understand what makes beer worth drinking.

No fluff. No filler. Just damn good beer brewed the right way.

Changed name to King Street Brew House late 2025.
