WIMBLEDON BREWERY TAP ROOM
Wimbledon Brewery’s tap room is a very informal affair, with a tiny bar at the front of the brewery, which welcomes visitors pretty much all the time that the shop is open and the brewery is in operation. In practice, visitors tend to come later in the afternoon and on Saturdays. Whenever you visit, you will get a warm welcome from the friendly staff, and a chance to try the increasingly accomplished beers in excellent, brewery fresh condition.
