We don’t often have tap takeovers; we’ve only had two in four years, with Campervan and Otherworld.
We’re big fans of both breweries. Well, Otherworld will be returning on Thursday 09/07/26 for a second tap takeover.

This time, we’ll have more lines and the Otherworld team will be there to talk about their wonderful beers.
