The Foundry Brewpub

You'll find yourself on Stour Street, that stretch where the river runs close and the old buildings lean into each other like they're sharing gossip. The Foundry is the kind of place that smells like fresh hops and proper cooking—not the sterile craft beer bar nonsense, but actual brewing happening on-site. Pull up a stool, order whatever's on tap (the rotating selection means you'll never drink the same thing twice), and watch locals and curious visitors alike get genuinely animated about what's in their glass. The food's straightforward but done properly, the sort of stuff that pairs naturally with good beer rather than fighting it.
