Bull and Castle has it but the upstairs bar is closed for renovations. You can still get a pint downstairs or take it outside if the weather is nice.

I'd imagine Farrington's would be a good place to check as well.

Jaysus, I'd heard it's gonna be called "The Butcher's Bar" but didn't think they were going that far with it.  ??? ???

The nice beer is staying at least.

Are they losing the craft beer vibe or what?

I'll reserve judgement on this one until I try it, not a fan of these weird beers, but who knows?

They could do some cool beer glasses to go with the range.

I heard that yeah. I was in 3 weeks ago and Dave was showing me the list of of bottles they wanted to keep on so maybe they were looking to get rid of the beers that were being dropped. Definitely still keeping the craft beer as far as I know anyway. Strange...
