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.

Handpull cask at the Cambridge Brewhouse. Light to mid-gold, clear with a touch of visible natural carbonation and a small film of uneven white head which leaves quite a lot of lacing. Aroma is reasonably grainy/malty without a lot of hop. Taste picks up a bit: there’s a strong hop bitterness alongside the sweet heady malt, and the back-of-the-tongue bitterness increases to the refreshing finish. Apricot and citrus peel along with biscuity malt in the aftertaste. Not perfect by any means but it’s got character and it certainly picks up halfway through the sip.
