Beak Brewery + Taproom

Having discovered this place about three years ago it amazingly has never disappointed! The beers are excellent and super well priced(some for £5.50 a pint) considering it’s some of the best craft beer in the UK. It’s always well staffed and you never wait long at the bar. The food options they have are always super tasty and varied so you rarely come across the same food van unless you are there every week. Wish this place was my local.

Without a doubt the absolute highest bar at which craft beer should be judged, not just locally or nationally but globally. So good that not only had we driven three hours to visit but another couple had driven six! The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating and downright brilliant in every way. Their support for, and collaboration with, other breweries and beer spots shows a genuine passion that goes beyond just being a simple brewery and taproom. The seating areas are comfortable and communal enough to meet new people with some more private spots if you're there for a little peace and quiet. Even the merch is superfluous in quality! The rotating food trucks are good value and always top notch, with vegan options aplenty. If I could find one fault, I'd have to be an even more cynical person than I am, but it's honestly just not possible. If you're thinking about heading to Lewes for a visit, stop thinking and get down there! Beak is a shining light marking the completion of one's craft beer pilgrimage.
