Craft Ale

Gloucester’s craft beer scene, like the city itself, is small but punches well above its weight. There are plenty of well-regarded breweries, bars and pubs where you can quench your thirst with a zesty or hoppy pint.

Gloucester Brewery has won a clutch of awards for its SIBA-recognised Gloucester Gold, Imperial Stout, and New World-style beers such as the American Pale Ale and the New England IPA. You can take a tour of the dockside brewery and sample their latest creations with food pairings or pick up gift sets or kegs from the shop. The taproom hosts live music, comedy, special events like Oktoberfest and beer festivals throughout the year.

TANK Is Gloucester Brewery’s craft ale bar just across Llanthony Bridge serves not only their own range of ales, lager and gin, but also several guest ales. In fact, if there’s too much for you choose from, you can sample what’s on tap with a flight of beers. TANK hosts special events such as the Rebel Beer Club where you can try six new craft beers under the guidance of a resident knowledgeable expert, and beer launches for breweries such as Lervig.

At Gloucester Quays overlooking the Gloucester Sharpness Canal, you’ll find Brewhouse and Kitchen. There’s a fantastic range of craft ales and ciders on tap plus plenty of concoctions brewed on site in their own microbrewery. Try some of the creations with names inspired by Gloucester’s history and famous folks such as Crafty Cloisters or (Down A) Pegg. Brewhouse and Kitchen hosts regular events for craft ale afficionados such as beer tastings, masterclasses and brewery experience days.

More known for its real ale, The Pelican Inn (Gloucester’s perennial CAMRA pub of the year), is a perfect stopping off point for a pre or post-match pint for craft-seeking rugby fans. As well as guest brews and mini beer festivals, this connoisseur’s pub hosts the occasional tap takeover from craft breweries such as Arbor Ales. You will also find guest craft beers from time to time in two of Gloucester’s most popular pubs, Café Rene and The Fountain Inn.
