We are delighted to be featuring the Dark Star Brewery again this week, a firm favourite at The Bricklayer's.

We've ordered in one of everything they have at the moment but get down here quick because this stuff just flies out of the door!  They should start to appear on the guest pumps from Friday.

The choices are:

Mild For May 3.6%

Hophead 3.8%

Over the Moon 3.8%

Spring Equinox 4%

Espresso 4.2%

A.P.A. 4.7%

Original 5%

Festival 5%

Tasting notes are available behind the bar if you need them, so just ask!

This week's guests are a fine selection of ales from Cornwall's Wooden Hand Brewery :

Pirates' Gold 4%
Cornish Buccaneer 4.3%
Black Pearl Stout 4.5%
Cornish Mutiny 4.8%

Branscombe Branoc 3.8% & Branscombe On The Rocks 4.1%.

Branscombe is the bay where the ship with all the BMW parts washed up a couple of years ago and On The Rocks is the beer brewed to celebrate!

Don't worry, though, it isn't brewed with bits of spark plug and engine oil…

We also still have the now legendary Havercake on the guest pumps.

We are delighted to announce that The Bricklayer's Arms has been recognised as one of the elite 100 pubs in the whole of the United Kingdom by Eat Out magazine.  The April edition of Eat Out gives full details, or you can visit them at www.eatoutmagazine.co.uk.
