Opened in 1997, it is situated in the town's pedestrianised area within walking distance of Bicester Village, bus and rail links. Up to 12 ales on offer, management aims to promote local breweries. Occasional meet the brewer evenings are held, and 'request a guest' has proved a hit with the regulars.
