First off, credit where credit's due: this is St Albans only microbrewery and is deserving of a visit. They usually produce two or three ales and happily we can report that their IPA wasn't bad at all. Nestled in amongst a small parade of take-aways, it lies slightly away from the main pub areas and sits rather awkwardly in this less pretty bit of St Albans. A recent refurbishment has also attempted to make it light and airy, but we found it a little too piney and modern for the old building it sits in. Still, it looks like it might be a lively place on a Friday night and the beer garden is a handy bonus - albeit in a town where scores of pubs have them. Ultimately, unless you're having a really good time here we can probably recommend moving on to some of the other fantastic pubs in the area.
