Craft Beer Co.

The West End


Incongruously carved out of a corner of a leisure centre, this branch of a nine-strong chain boasts 15 cask pumps from UK microbreweries, as well as 30 keg lines and a range of 100-plus beers in bottles and cans from around the world. Don't worry if the bar looks rammed; there's usually table space in the basement.
