Another great Tap Yard event on the Ridgeway. And we didn’t run out of beer! We’ve got some Viking Hare and Ridgeway Rascal left for our June event.

Chalky Road, our English session pale ale, was very popular so we’re planning to bring it back for all our remaining events of the year. And even make it ‘gluten friendly’ so that even more people can enjoy it!

Are you ready for Saturday?
We're expecting a more bearable weather so that you can enjoy a couple of beers at the Tap Yard without turning into brewery lobsters. And to celebrate the brave men and women that have tackled the climbs ending near to us, we'll be giving away a FREE BEER to the Strava Local Legends and Segment Record holders (aka King and Queen of the Mountain) on 'Court Hill Climb', 'Regis to Castle' and 'Manor Rd Climb out of Wantage'! If you're one of them, just show us the proof on the Strava app and we'll reward you with a free half pint. How cool is that? :)
