Had a nice afternoon with friends here who live in congleton. They were on crème bearly which they loved. I was on lager, which also was really nice. We tried the street food that was on Saturday evening, it was really nice. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed

Cracking local serving Beartown Ales. Unassuming exterior but a charming interior with a great beer garden. They have ‘food truck’ style catering periodically and pretty good choice and great value, just like the drinks. Winner.

Loved the Beartown tap last night. Lovely staff, great beers and different games on each table, which was a nice touch. There’s a lovely vibe in the pub and the background music is also excellent. The caramel stout was incredible and had bags of flavour. It also smelt incredible. Such a lovely pub with a big selection of craft beers and spirits.

Boothroyd made a great decision to come to the Beartown Tap. No Ginger Bear but great selection of their beers. Had a super pint of Skinfull Bitter. Super bar with stairs up to a snug and a second large room. Go down to a large rear beer garden. A CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2024 bar. Six real ales and a good cider selection. Had a hoot!

Lovely bar. Good atmosphere and live music on the Saturday, pleasant surroundings and decent beers though it's a pity there wasn't a mild or stout on. There was a menu on the table so we decided to order something so asked at the bar where we order. Was directed to a hatch outside where we were told they were no longer serving food! It was 8-15pm. You'd have thought the bar staff would have known and why leave the menus which don't have the serving times on them on the tables.

We visited the Beartown Tap with our two dogs when travelling through Congleton on our narrowboat. What a great place, dog friendly, a fantastic choice of both cask and keg ales for a good price, friendly locals, great atmosphere and a pub that attracts people of all ages. They occasionally have visiting street food vendors who take over the kitchen. The night we were there they had some Indo-Caribbean food on, nice food, cooked fresh, we were given a buzzer to let us know when it was ready, but we felt it was overpriced for what it was (see photo). The Beartown Tap is definitely somewhere to visit when in Congleton, it’s an ale drinker’s paradise. Worth noting they also offer the tasting paddles too. We’ll definitely make a return visit next time we’re in the area.

16/10/22: a flying visit to the Beartown Brewery - The Den, as part of our down south return trip. Wish I'd have had more time and gone to the Tap. We'd been to Hemel Hempstead for the weekend staying with friends and had done a Bethnal Green Ale Trail. I thought as Beartown was on the way home, it'd be rude not to stop. What a brief, but fantastic experience and came away with quite a few goodies. We bought some fantastic favourites from The Den and had a quick look round the brewery, where a lot of the magic happens. We got Polar, Peach Melbear, Bluebeary, Inception, Creme Bearlee, Kahuna, Claws and Bruin's. Being a traditionalist and not liking change, I'm still to adapt to the new logo/branding, but it is growing on me. Beartown for the unknowing have an amazing selection of beers, with a taste to suit everyone. At The Den, which is separate to the Beartown Tap (around the corner) they offer a workspace for daily duties, OR just visit and sample as much as you want and taste the range of wonderfulness that they off on their 13 tapped lines (not all running). I've previously enjoyed (during lockdown) the beer tasting online session 'Hibearnation' which seem now to be reserved to monthly subscribers. I would be very happy to see the return for non-subscribers to enjoy tasting session at home as the boxes received were top notch, paired with tasty treats and the 'talk' exceptional! Thanks to the chap at The Den I also managed to bag a few 'pump toppers' which I have mounted and will be displayed in our home bar The Dog House MMXXI (Insta)

Beartown are one of the best local breweries, offering some of the nicest and most interesting ales going - South Cheshire, North Staffs and Shropshire have some top class breweries between them. We dropped by recently after a meal at the brilliant Four Friends (Tibetan) in town, I had a pint of the absolutely cracking Creme Bearlee. Now I've been selfless and done a lot of product testing of this one, and I must say in a way the variance in flavours across the pints does assure me that it's not some mass-automation piss-swill plant like say a Budweiser. The pub clearly knows how to keep their ale and had some really interesting Neon Raptor guests on, which were enjoyable. Keep doing what you're doing guys, maybe avoid Brew Dog!
