The house beers are a good place to start. Conflux Hazy Pale Ale (4.8% ABV, £4.20) is the signature beer, described as soft, citrusy and tropical, and it won a gold award at the SIBA South East & London Awards 2021. Only The Sea Hazy IPA (5.8% ABV, £4.50) mixes East and West coast styles with Mosaic and Columbus hops and took gold at the same awards in 2022. For lager drinkers there is the BRB Pilsner (4.6% ABV, £4.00), a classic Pilsner hopped with Hallertau Blanc and Hallertau Mittelfrüh. When I checked the website, the BRB Pilsner and the Simpatico California Pale were listed as out of stock, so it is worth checking before you travel. The rest of the range includes darker options such as Nocturne, a 5% Porter, and Hug It Out, a 6.7% pastry stout with chocolate, cacao nibs and hazelnut. Kalopsia is an 8% Double IPA with Citra, Azacca and Mosaic hops, and the brewery also sells bottles and cans from other breweries.
Non-beer drinkers are not left out. The taproom serves a small selection of wine, cider and spirits, along with snacks and Square Root Soda soft drinks. If you want to try several beers, the taster boards give you three glasses of any beer you choose, equal to one pint. Every Saturday, street food stalls set up in the enclosed beer garden, which holds around 100 people. The taproom is wheelchair accessible, has changing facilities and is dog-friendly.
The taproom opens Wednesday and Thursday from 16:00 to 22:00, Friday from 14:00 to 22:00, Saturday from 12:00 to 22:00 and Sunday from 12:00 to 20:00. It is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, as well as Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. The address is 23-27 Princes St, Northam, Southampton SO14 5RP, and the phone number is 02381 782627. Orders over £50 get free national delivery, and you can click and collect at the taproom from Monday to Saturday. Buying 24 cans gets you 15% off, and draft beer for pickup is usually ready within 24 hours. Google Maps shows a rating of 4.9 out of 5 from 176 reviews.
