June 2025. Bridlington.
Bridlington New Town isn’t an architectural gem, to be honest.
My neighbours are visiting Filey this week, the Southworths are probably seeking permanent residence there, and Brid doesn’t quite have the features to compete with Scarbs.
Most folk would head for the puffins and other flying objects on the Flamborough coast, but I’ve done that.
Having got my tick at the Brunswick I needed to see where the New Town ranked in my Top 100 of seaside towns.
As we’ll see, it’s not a classic, but it seems a hotbed of micro activity.
3 beers a tenner, bespoke Artisan ales, the actual home brew vessels on display.
Yes, BridBrewer isn’t going to attract the Mudgies of the world with its layout,
but the tickers love it, and it’s independent, innit.
It was also the place where I enjoyed most chat, with lovely owner Stuart (escapee from East London),
and one of the regulars (an escapee from Leeds).
“Slam City Skates! Cool jumper, skate shop in Shoreditch !” said an impressed Matt.
The beer range, all Jaffa cake, chocolate and spiced rum, seemed to have been designed to upset Mr Mudge. As Forrest Gump once said, life is like a box of chocolates.
I, as someone lacking discernment who’ll drink absolutely anything, thought it was OK. And that’s all I have to say on that matter.

Bespoke and artisan along with curated, gas-lighting, dog-whistle and bien pensant are all words or phrases that instantly identify the user as being a twat.

Actually in this case the brewer does indeed brew beer to your specifications if you like that sort of thing.

You just used them, anon.

If the brewing kit isn’t much more than a couple of tea urns there’s not much danger of him overestimating demand.

Looks more like a works canteen than a bar to me.

Nice guy to meet is Stu, but his responses to google reviews are interesting!
It’s like drinking in someone’s homebrew shed and you feel you ought to smile and praise the beer.
Stu (but not that one)

Blimey ! Just read those. I find staying clear of discussing beer is the best way. It was homebrew, but I liked the place.
