If you're there at weekend then head to Cloudwaters brewery tap. They brew some of the absolute best beers around at the moment and are a friendly bunch.

Has Beermoth got a cafe now? I was in the other week but never noticed. I've always just thought it was a bottleshop.

Port Street is excellent though.

Yeah, they do but it's at a separate location - make sure you search maps for beermoth cafe not just beermoth!

See if they've still got DIPA 10 on it's slightly better than 11 IMO..
