Description
We are a 6BBL brewery fast out-growing our current site. Also combining a taproom and burger bar, our team are continually economising with space in order to maximise our postage-stamp-footprint.

Our site has a fascinating history. We opened in November 2017 and despite originally being built as a pub, the first ever pint poured here was a Steam Town one — one hundred and eleven years after the original application was rejected.

The name Steam Town is a nod to Eastleigh's rich industrial railway heritage, something we honour throughout the business — from original railway memorabilia and repurposed materials in the taproom, to our beer names and Heath-Robinson-inspired labels and pump clips.

Keg at Cassidy's, Alton. Aroma is fruity, sweet. Oats definitely in the mix. Hazy amber. Thick foamy white head. Impressive lacing. Initial burst of fruit. Followed by a bitter resinous streak. Oats are not particularly obvious. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Chalky (there's the oats). Long dry astringent finish. Basic but punchy.

Keg at New Forest Beer Fest. Aroma is herbal with a stone fruit edge. Cloudy light amber. Thick foamy white head. Surprisingly sweet flavour. A load of sugar. This overpowers resin and stone fruit. Medium bodied. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Peppy stuff.
