Fresh on the bar! CHALKY ROAD from Bad Knees Brewing, 3.9% ABV. Chalky Road is a light, refreshing session pale ale brewed for the Ridgeway wanderers. Bursting with zesty citrus, floral hops, and a crisp, smooth finish, it’s the perfect companion for long journeys and laid-back evenings. Low in ABV but full of character, Chalky Road proves that the best adventures are taken one sip at a time. Malts: Best Ale Malt, Caramalt, Light Crystal. Hops: Cascade, Olicana, First Gold

At the last Tap Yard opening, we asked you to vote for your favourite b**r of the day. And the winner was 🥁…CHALKY ROAD of course!

That’s not really a surprise as ‘Chalky’ was specifically designed and perfected for the Ridwegay. Low abv but full of flavour, it’s just the perfect tap yard b**r.

So much so that Wantage & Grove Cricket Club The Kings Arms, Wantage. Cross Keys Wallingford have asked for a firkin each!

What is this mysterious DIPA???

Good grief - it's the last bank holiday weekend of the summer and we'll see this one out with a bang...or at least a few pints 🍺! From Friday 28th, our outside bar is open for business, serving up craft b**rs, ciders, and la**rs galore! And, drumroll please...we've got a one-of-a-kind cask b**r that's so exclusive (we've bagged the only one in the whole country), you'll feel like royalty 👑! It's a 6.5% DIPA that's juicy, hazy, and tropical - aka the perfect way to cap off summer. Plus, live tunes on Friday and Saturday night to keep the party going! Who's ready to send off summer in style? 🎉 See you soon!

Thank you to everyone who came along today.... We had a blast!!!!!- From the impromptu music, to the b**r-drinking dogs....
