We do things
differently here.
No lager towers, no laminated menus. Just small-batch beer, honest food, and a taproom that’s ours, not a franchise’s.
Built by drinkers, not a boardroom.
When we opened BrewChimp Urmston in 2018, we chose grit over franchises. We are a small operation that runs on honest graft, serving hand-picked independent beers with live music at the weekends. It’s the exact same ethos we’ve brought to The Auld Chimp round the corner, and our newest link, Mancish merchandise.
Small batch, always changing
The taps rotate with what’s good that week, not what a supplier’s pushing.
Regulars run the room
It’s built to feel like your local, whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth.
