3. Phipps NBC - The Albion Brewery
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 101 reviews
Welcome to the Albion Brewery Bar, the most unusual new bar and venue in town. We are open from 12 everyday for fine ales, cider, lager, wines & spirits including Kingswell Gin distilled in the brewery. Our 8 hand pumps of cask ale feature Phipps, Hoggleys and a revolving guest ale. We have added an oak and glass partition between the bar and brewery so customers can view the brewing process as they drink and eat. Each day will bring a cabaret of mashing, sparging, racking and cleaning as Phipps staff go about their business of creating our beers. Almost all the bar's fittings are reclaimed with many coming from old closed Phipps pubs. Over the foyer there are new toilets including Disabled. We have kept the space true to its origins as a working brewhouse so you can drink ale with the smallest carbon footprint in the county but the biggest taste and the longest history. Hot food is available Wednesday to Sunday afternoon. There will be gigs and events as advertised.

Great stories unfold on this tour. I had been in the Pub as a customer before but did not realise that I had been actually walking on Northampton brewing history. If you like finding out about History and not just of brewing but of Northampton Town this is for you. Alaric one of the Directors did the tour and his passion and his enthusiasm simply shines out - from the beer that saved us in the second world war via Phipps claret colour and looking into a real King's well. I had to dash off after the tour but will return to try Stingo and Ratliffes stout.

Did an online game today - absolutely great fun - the room was interesting and a reasonable challenge - as best as can be via zoom, Sophie our virtual host was fun, chatty and made the experience even better. I can't recommend this or the other online trapp'd rooms enough.

I have been involved in archery since the of age eleven; I am now sixty one. I recently attended a two hour session at the indoor archery range and found it to be everything needed both for the beginner archer as well the experienced archer. The facilities are first rate and safe. The archery coach was friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and a good instructor. Whilst I was there I witnessed a lesson with two novices and within no time at all they were claiming centre bulls eyes. Highly recommended and very reasoably priced.
