Castle Rock Brewery

You're heading down to the riverside stretch of Queensbridge Road where Castle Rock operates from their working brewery—this isn't a polished taproom experience, it's where the actual beer gets made. The outfit's been brewing since 1997 and they've built a genuine following amongst people who care about what's in their glass rather than what the Instagram post looks like. Pop in and you'll find yourself among locals and beer enthusiasts who know their IBUs from their ABVs, with rotating cask lines and a selection that changes based on what they've got on the go.
