Run by Vault City brewery and featuring many of their beers. There is an ever-changing 36-tap line-up of craft beers, meads and cider. The brewery specialise in sours and it is thought that bottles and cans are "live" beers. There has been talk of adding a cask tap but this hasn't happened so far (Oct 24). Also serving low ‘n’ slow BBQ food.
