Introducing Mysterious Brewing
Reading and its surroundings seems to be a magnet for craft breweries, and we’re lucky enough to be bucking the national trend again with another new brewery opening – Mysterious Brewing.

SOX Tap Room
I haven’t done any reviews since COVID started, because I just didn’t think it was fair on venues to judge them in their diminished state. However, that has basically gone now. We can go to the pub without needing to buy a substantial meal. We can move between tables even after sitting down. And perhaps… Read More »
Dolphin Brewery
It’s been 12 weeks since any of us have been able to go to the pub, so naturally my pub reviewing has been non-existent. I did have some places ready to write up (The Boundary and The Last Crumb), but it just didn’t seem right to write them up, because who knows what pubs are… Read More »
Phantom Brewing Co.
Taprooms seem to be cropping up everywhere around Reading, and the latest to join the collection is Phantom Brewing Co., which opened late last November.

Loddon Brewery

On this particular Saturday afternoon I was looking for somewhere to watch the rugby too, and since Loddon Brewery has rugby connections, it seemed… Read More »
Binghams Brewery
Due to some good luck at a charity auction, I found myself in possession of two tickets to a brewery tour at Binghams Brewery. It was either that or bid on a family portrait sitting – and that’s not a good idea. There’s a reason I stay out of photos. Within 2 minutes of shamelessly… Read More »
