On Tap
On tap, we offer a fantastic selection of local IPAs and world-class lagers, alongside our resident ale, Langham’s Session Bitter. This deep golden beer has tropical fruit, pineapple, and citrus notes on the nose, balanced by a smooth maltiness. It finishes with a dry, bitter edge and a delicate floral hop aroma, making it the perfect choice for a relaxed evening.
We take pride in showcasing high-quality, locally brewed beers, ensuring there’s always something great to enjoy.
