A couple of treats for our dark beer crowd on keg... Both from Amity Brew Co - a big hitting 8.4% plum porter - bold, smooth, and satisfyingly decadent. And a black lager - roasty and complex, without the heaviness of a stout. Open at 4pm 🍺

The Bay Hop @thebayhop.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

A few weeks ago we had a stout on from newish brewery Coley's and it flew out... So we thought we'd give their bitter a try. Nutty, a touch of caramel and a bittersweet finish. Open at 4pm 🍺

Fresh southern hemisphere IPA from Bristol Beer Factory with all the tropical flavours you'd expect, and a gentle, balanced bitterness to finish. Gluten free too! Open from 4pm 🍺

The Trappist Monks from Westmalle Abbey have been brewing this beer since 1865, so they've had plenty of time to get it right! Dark, rich and complex with hints of caramel and banana, and a dry and easy finish. Open at 4pm 🍺

The Bay Hop @thebayhop.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

The Bay Hop @thebayhop.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

000

The Bay Hop @thebayhop.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

The big, burly brother of Oakham Ales' classic 'Citra'... Packing in hefty tropical and citrus hop flavours before a crisp, refreshing finish. Yes, it's a 6% cask, but it is Christmas - let your hair down! Open midday until 8pm 🍺

020

The Bay Hop @thebayhop.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

Atom have worked the hop magic to bring you lush mango, pulpy citrus, and a swirl of passion fruit wrapped in Verdant yeast’s signature softness. Smooth, hazy, and deeply expressive. It's a beauty! And - of course - it's pizzas from Johnny Dough's! Open at 4pm... Pizzas from 5pm to 7.30 🍕🍺
