Swapped the continuous rain and grey skies of home for some humidity & sunshine for a few weeks, bliss.. Worth a revisit to this calm relaxed and chilled out oasis, friendly welcome as always and opted for the taster boards, sat on the terrace overlooking vineyards and enjoyed my stay.

Mid afternoon on a gloriously sunny day a much more bearable 24C compared to 29C per my last visit. Fairly busy with folk engaged in soft conversation paired with the gentle jazz background music made for an enjoyable relaxed atmosphere. Alas my last visit, well for this occasion anyway.

Late afternoon until when I decide to leave. Very impressed with this place, opulent brick arch cellar style bar with open access to the adjacent brewery where one can sit and watch the brewers in action. I sat outside on the terrace with its superb views over the rolling hills on a hot humid day and enjoyed some fine refreshments. Dare I say it but I can't believe other P&B scribes haven't been here..
BeerABVScoreNotes
Alibi - Session Pale Ale4.20ExcellentTangy spicy peppery full of flavour for such a low ABV (for over here that is)
Alibi - Hop Dweller IPA7.00ExcellentStrong dry golden malt base hangs a bold and resinous hop aroma bursting with peach watermelon and grapefruit flavours all with a tongue prickling bitterness. Very dangerous...
Alibi - All Ducky6.60ExcellentSmoky hazy refreshing tropical fruit broth
