In the Brewery Tap pub, barrels with Morland, Abingdon can still be seen in the back room. The Brewery Tap was at the gateway of  the large Abingdon Morland brewery – now taken over and part of Greene King with its brewery in Suffolk.

The Brewery Tap is the pub where you can now try out a new Abingdon beer – brewed in a much smaller brewery on Suffolk Way, off the Drayton Road in Abingdon. There is Abingdon Bridge trial brew 2 and trial brew 1 on offer.

It is a matter of taste which you will prefer.

Run by Will Laithwaite, Loose Cannon is the name of the new Abingdon brewery. Laithwaite is a name already well known in wine circles. Let us hope it will soon become a name renowned  for beers as well.
