Independent, Brighton


Directions

You want to visit - You have this in

Re-opened June 2015 as the Independent following a major refit. There is a "wall" of 20 changing keg beers, three taps for cask beer, and two still ciders poured straight from the cellar. The pub, formerly the Walmer Castle/Walmer originally owned by King and Barnes, latterly by Hall and Woodhouse sits on the corner of Queens Park Road and Albion Hill and, in addition to draught beer, sells craft beer in cans and bottles. The in-house brewery, Moon, has a permeant, rotating keg line, and can occasionally be found on cask. While the venue doesn't serve food, it offers a wide range of snacks (including picked eggs) and guests are welcome to order in from local delivery services.

Cask beers are £3 a pint Mon, Tues and Weds, and feature both local and national independent breweries.
