Reviews of Electric Bear Taproom

After heading out of Bath on the X39 bus to visit the brewery to discover that the Taproom wasn't open until Thursday even though the Brewery was open. The helpful chap explained that Google couldn't easily differentiate between business hours and taproom hours. Plus if walking down Osbourne Road, you can't hop over the wall but have to take the long way round ie through the main entrance to the industrial estate. Anyway I bought some tinnies and am enjoying one on the train home! NB the Taproom hours are on one of my photos.

Great space (love breweries that are right in the heart of the operation - you smell the malt / yeast which reinforces the freshness of the beer), great beer selection (lots rotating in and out so plenty of reason to come back frequently), great location (nice to be right off the Cycle Path - highly recommend walking in/out from Bath). Cheers!

Updated July 23' Lucky enough to have had this taproom as my "local" for the last few years and it's been a pleasure to watch it become a flourishing local institution. - Online delivery & Pick-up is available and, while pricey compared to supermarket beers, you can guarantee these are fresh and interesting drinks, perfect for a treat. - Pub Quiz & special events are well run, inclusive and really add to the vibe of the place. Particularly enjoyed the 00s themed pub quiz... because we won! Hopefully they'll be showing the upcoming Women's World Cup. - Taproom is great, the beer is competitively priced for Bath but is truly delicious, and the likes of Tondo and (any of) the sours have become fast favourites. The weekly food trucks are always tasty and the variety keeps it interesting, I can really recommend the Sri Lankan stuff! If I had one gripe it'd be that there's not always a vegan option for food, which means I find it harder to drag my partner down on a Friday... Lucky to have such good beer so locally and if you're in the area, especially during a warm summer evening, there aren't many better places to have a few. Cheers.

This is a very good place to grab a nice beer and/or attend for the brewery tour. There are some really nice choices of lagers and ales served out of the cask on-site, and plenty of interesting types to choose from - probably around ten or so at any given time, all listed conveniently on a chalk board. The staff are very knowledgeable about their products and more than willing to offer guidance if this is needed. There are plenty of places to sit and enjoy a beer here, it must be easy to turn up during opening hours. The brewery is compact, which is no bad thing, and the tour of what is clearly a highly organised operation was excellent. The brewer conducting the tour absolutely knew his stuff and shared what is surely a fraction of his know-how in a very engaging and friendly manner on the tour. The passion for the product and process to produce was there for all to see, and it was an educational experience to learn what is to me a sliver more about the art of brewing. For navigation head to the Maltings entrance off Brassmill Lane, it's a nice walk to/from along the river path. Highly recommended.

The range of the Beers you produce is much large than that of any "local" breweries i have seen before, and it has changed since i first discovered you guys about a month ago. The beers all taste amazing and no 2 are the same, or even similar. I particularly enjoy the Belgian IPA, and another spanner in the works. Which for a session IPA, is a high, but perfect level of alcohol. As for the service, i have made two orders so far, and both have been dealt with very well. The first was a click and collect and it was ready within an hour and a half and was correct (which is very unusual). The second was a home delivery order, which i wasn't expecting for 3-5 days because i live outside the local delivery area. However i ordered it, and one of your excellent delivery drivers delivered it next day, and was very knowledgable about the beers. I noticed a review from someone who was turned down a delivery job, and was complaining about the reasons he was turned down, one of which was he didn't drink craft beers, and i must say that the delivery driver i had today was a credit to the company, and was very in the know about the beers which tops off the entire experience of buying from you. An experience which is already very enjoyable. I will continue to support this local brewery, and i look forward to trying more of the beers to come for many years.
