Third-pint pours across a taproom's whole range, the standard way to read Bristol's brewing city, from precision-made lagers to hop-heavy pales and dark milk stouts.
Bristol brews at a density few UK cities match. Bristol Beer Factory restarted the old Ashton Gate brewery's tradition in the mid-2000s, Wiper and True and Lost and Grounded turned precision brewing into local identity, and a taproom circuit grew up around the railway arches and industrial estates. The flight, three or four third-pints on a board, became the standard way to drink it, and in 2026 the city's Independence pale took CAMRA's Champion Beer of Britain.
