Rivington Brew Co Tap — Local services in Chorley

Finally got to recce this place at lunchtime ahead of a proper visit hopefully within the next month or so. Curiosity satisfied. Delivers on everything promised. Really friendly and welcoming staff at both food kiosk and in main bar area, couldn't fault. Knew their stuff on their beers which you'd expect but all done in a way they never lose sight of whose experience is important: the customer. Very helpful in offering choices to experience several of the beers on offer. If I had to be critical it'd only be that they did not appear to do the flight glasses like you get at some places, especially in America but they offered the next best thing in third-pint glasses so we shared four of these between the two of us.

Visited this brewery thinking we’d stumbled upon a hidden gem turns out we found a case study in everything that’s wrong with modern Britain. £14 for two beers (nothing remarkable) and another £14 for a pizza the size of a side plate. That’s £28 for the privilege of pretending you’re having a good time while being politely robbed in broad daylight.

It’s got all the usual hallmarks: exposed brick, fairy lights, and a queue of people convincing themselves this is “the life” as they sip overpriced foam and nibble on miniature snacks. A lovely setting, sure if only it came with prices from this planet.

If you enjoy paying premium prices for mediocrity wrapped in hipster aesthetics, you’ll love it here. As for me, I left hungrier and angrier than when I arrived. Peak Rip...
