What a glorious sunny day! Day 3 of our open weekend - yesterday was fantastic! Busy busy busy…. This afternoon we have Funky Fries serving up some awesome loaded fries 👌😻🍺
Open from 12-9 again, with 8 of our own beers, cider from Purbeck Cider, a lager from Brewers Folly and a non-alcoholic pale ale on tap too!
Remember, NO PARKING ON SITE. It’s really important that you all be mindful of any cars or vans moving through the site - it’s a rare occurrence, but they do arrive sometimes!
So, forget Sunday lunch, come grab a beer or two and some Funky Fries… it’ll be the best Sunday you’ve had in ages 👌😻😂🍺🍺🍺

Open today 12-9 - with food this afternoon/evening from Chippee-Ki-Yay! On today we have 6 casks and 6 kegs, a few spirits and wine!
Please: No parking on site! Remember, this is an active yard and vehicles will be coming and going (although very few!)…
Toilets - our toilet block hasn’t arrived yet, so the same as last time, using the site toilets and disabled, 100 yards down the road are the RNLI public loos.
See you all soon 🍺🐈😻😎

TAP ROOM OPEN THIS WEEKEND!!!!
FRIDAY: 12-9 with food by Chippee-Ki-Yay from 3pm – 8pm (Awesome loaded fries)
SATURDAY: 12-9 with food by Dexters Catering from 2pm – 8pm (Bangin Tacos)
SUNDAY: 12-9 with food by Funky Fries from 3pm – 7pm (even more Awesome Loaded Fries)

Each day we will have 6 of our own Cask beers, 2 or 3 of our own Keg beers, Lager from Brewers Folly, Keg Cider from Purbeck Cider Co., a keg Fruit Cider AND a non/low 0.5% Keg Pale Ale.
We also have a few Spirits available (no posh Gin Glasses), hopefully the Ice Machine will be working!
We will have WINE! Not a huge selection though… Something white, pink and red 😉
Aaaaaand… we should have brollies for all 7 outside tables…
Inside seating will be the same stools as last time, we’ve ordered some large barrels for tables – these will NOT be prepared in time, so depending on how they look, they may not be in use. We need to make tabletops for them before we officially open!
Could I remind EVERYONE that there is NO PARKING ON SITE. Please use the multiple Car Parks in Poole (closest is on the Quay).
Please be careful in the Car Park, especially the entry/exit.
Please remember, this is a working Brewery and industrial site, so vehicles will be moving around (at 5mph) and if we are brewing on Friday, the upstairs Tap Room will be closed as it gets to about 5 meeeeelion degrees C, and very steamy!
We really hope LOADS of you can make it for another glorious Barking Cat Weekend at the Brewery 😊

Here we go again:
Click the link, and hit ‘make comments on this application’.
Let’s fill their inbox to exploding point! There were around 130 positive and 0 negative on the last one… it takes no time to add a comment in support of this.
Will it make a difference, who knows?!
Whilst you’re there, if you have a spare 15 mins, look at the latest application updates our consultants have had to work on.
I don’t know why they don’t just slap a ‘danger, no admittance’ to the front of the car park here - but they won’t, and it’s still safe for anyone to walk in and look around.
BUT, we will follow the suggestions and do everything in our power to get this glorious tap room open!
Onwards and upwards, let’s get this over the line and get the tap room open.
Let’s get 200 + responses in.
