Previously, there had been little sign of life, let alone a brewery at the anonymous looking warehouse in Whitby Road, Brislington. Tonight as we arrived in our Uber, driver bemused by the industrial location for a "pub", the shutters were raised and the inviting glow of soft fairy lights and candles on wooden benches beckoned us in.
We were warmly greeted by Annie, co-founder of Lost and Grounded Brewers, remembering my name from our social media interactions. The first beer, Keller Pils, was placed in our hands as we made our way to the seating. The yellow radiance of the beer shimmering through the gaps in our fingers around the glass. On the tables were branded pin badges, postcards, notebooks and stickers along with an information sheet detailing each of the beers we would try; from the base ingredients to tasting notes.
