jjsint Profile - Brewver (Dev)

Nice little micropub on Cavendish Circus, a stone's throw from the likes of a RedWillow and Buxton taps. They certainly hold their own and what they lack in quantity they make up for in quality. It is pretty tiny but nicely spaced so easy to find a spot. Friendly staff and clientele. Six keg taps plus a cider. I understand they usually do a few cask as well but it looks like they're closing for a week holiday soon so probably winding down for that. Beers from Northern micro outfits like Shindigger and Track are complemented by further breweries like Cardiff's Flowerhorn. Prices are fair, not cheap mind you but fair. Another great micropub (my third today) in town.

Van Diest Früli Lychee Beer from Brouwerij Huyghe (Melle, Belgium 🇧🇪)

6 months ago

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 7 Overall 6

330ml bottle drunk at Beer and Bean, Buxton. Light gold and clear with visible carbonation and very little head. Aroma of lychee, honey, maybe some gooseberry. Taste is insanely sweet. More honey, Corn syrup, peach nectar, lychee. Light syrupy body with little carbonation. Not terrible but terribly artificial.

Handpull cask at the Cheshire Cheese, Buxton. Dark brown and translucent with a spotty khaki head. Grassy aroma, some herbs, black liquorice. Weird. Bitter taste, very bitter and medicinal in the finish. Light body, soft carbonation. Have no idea what they were aiming for here.

7.3/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7 Texture 9 Overall 7

Keg draught at Frog on the Bine, Buxton. Pink and hazy with a ring of white head. Big raspberry aroma, cherry sours,fruit yoghurt. The taste is also quite sour but the fruit holds it up. More lactic character mid-sip, and cleaner toward the finish. Medium hody, heavy tight carbonation. Certainly doesn't taste 6%. I am impressed.

Buxton Brewery Tap House & Cellar (Buxton, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿)

7.8/10 — Setting 7 Selection 10 Service 7 Food Value 6 Overall 9

Wonderful brewery tap in town. OK, maybe Buxton have had their issues and they aren't what it used to be. However the brewery tap is going strong, well attended without being crowded on a winter Friday evening. The beer is impressive: Four casks and 14 keg with loads of different styles. OK, maybe too many IPA variations for me butbtheres also sours, strong beers, stouts and a mild. Prices aren't impossible, and I'd say good value considering where you are and what you're getting. Still very much worth a visit.
