We are a genuine Free House and it is our policy to feature beers from small independent breweries, many from the West Country but occasionally also more "exotic" visitors ! The range of beers varies constantly but we usually run at least one beer from one of the local micro breweries, Glastonbury Ales, Moor Beer Company, RCH Brewery or Isle of Avalon Brewery. Normally three ales are "on tap" at any one time.
See details about our local breweries and links to their websites underneath the beer list below.
