Always a favourite when added to the taps here at THP.
Sessionable, moreish, hop saturated New England style pale ale with a trio of wonderfully fruity hops, is the description for Sundialer from
Open until 7pm this evening.

03/10/2024

Most of you know that K and M have been away doing important market research this week.

Still great to get back to the absolute best beer line up that Melksham has to offer though!

Open now until 9pm, see you later!

What Sundays are all about, banter, beer and no doubt a little bit of BS!

29/09/2024

"Wye aye man" new to the taps, we bring you Postcard Pale from from Newcastle Upon Tyne.
A banging mid-strength pale ale that packs a punch of tropical fruits galore with subtle citrus tones of lemon, lime and mandarin to cut through a medley of sweet fruits from a winning combination of Citra and Ekuanot hops..they say Newcastle gives great party vibes. Here at the THP Malc & Karen are celebrating their 3rd wedding anniversary (30/09), and it happens to be a birthday celebration too. (30/09). We might be a day early, but there may be a bit of snackage flying around later and along with the best choice of beer (many other beverages available) in town, it's sure to be a happy Sunday.

People have often suggested they would drink more of our delicious Huggermuggery if it wasnโ€™t so strong.

So hereโ€™s the answer, we brewed a sessionable version of it and if you close your eyes itโ€™s difficult to tell the difference!

On tap 4 right now!

Stealth Brew Co

26/09/2024

Itโ€™s the start of our week here at THP!

Come and see why this beer brewed by yours truly at Stealth Brew Co is the fastest selling thing currently across our 2 pubs.

Brewed with a love for the mosaic hop which makes up 90% of the hop bill on this one accompanied with a small amount of Citra (Hop Burst), Amarillo leaf, Cascade leaf. Fermented with WHC Labs Mango Madness yeast which overall give this hazy IPA a cavalcade of mango, grapefruit and citrus with a light bitterness.

25/09/2024

Ok so anyone that already has the book already knows this but we respect the requirement by CAMRA not to announce it until today.

5 continuous years for us in the guide is something we are proud of and passionate about as less than 10% of British pubs are included.

We care very much about serving you a perfect pint (or any measure) and we thank the local CAMRA members for voting us in again.

Our venue in Calne The Piggy Bank Micropub has also made it in this year for the first time.

21/09/2024

As we arenโ€™t serving food for now our Sunday hours are changing from this weekend.

Open 14:00 to 19:00 Sundays.

Cheers ๐Ÿท

Who wants to be the first person in the world (except us obvs) to give this one a try?

On the pump now!

Many of you will have seen the post from Tapadeli yesterday.

Sadly our collaboration with them has come to an end.

We wish Claudiu and Roxi well with their future.

15/09/2024

Happy Sunday everyone.

We are open from 12 noon until 7pm today.

Another new beer on the taps for you from the ever popular Verdant Brewing Co - Brewery & Taproom

Fluffed up fruity tang-tang of a beer this one! Tropical fruits smashing against the citric pink grapefruit shores of your mouth. It ain't easy bein' squeezy!

Hot Side: Talus
Cold Side: Mosaic, Nelson Sauvin, Riwaka, Talus

Something new and delicious coming to a tap near you soon. Absolutely rammed with hops, mostly Mosaic plus a sprinkling of Citra, Cascade and Amarillo fermented with a new yeast Mango Madness with extra pale and lager malt as the base.

But why Roman Pavement you might ask, whatโ€™s stealthy about that?

Many of these old mosaic pavements are covered up to protect them from the elements. The nearest to us is Woodchester which was last uncovered in 1973 and as a 6 year old kid I was taken to see it.

Another beauty has just come on to Tap 5!

A new sour to celebrate 6 years of Yonder Brewing & Blending

And itโ€™s aptly on our pump 6 too! Only 8.4% so very sessionable ๐Ÿ˜ณ

It's our 6th Birthday. Let's get freaky! This is a luxurious cherry milkshake-inspired sour ale, with red velvet birthday cake (stuffed with guava frosting!) piled on top. Get some!

A returning beer from Drop Project Brewing Co

We remember how well this went last time so snapped it up again.

This 5.2% Double Dry hopped Pale Ale serves up a delicious medium body with a creamy mouthfeel. Fermented with Vermont Yeast, packed full of Citra and Mosaic Hops and Dry Hopped with enhanced pellets itโ€™s a punchy combination of fruity, tropical and citrus notes!

Raising a glass tonight for one of our regular Friday evening customers.

Martyn Wellman passed away suddenly this week.

A lovely old chap who loved his sour and strong beers along with his love of motorcycles.

We shall miss him very much ๐Ÿฅฒ

New on draught, another fabulous creamy stout from these Somerset folks.

Yonder Brewing & Blending SCOOPY Vanilla Ice Cream Stout 5%

This sweet and creamy pastry stout is, in essence, the classic you've been waiting for. The only thing left to decide is... one scoop, or two?

30/08/2024

Some deliciousness from Attic Brew Co.

Intuition 4.4%
Our flagship pale. The culmination of our quest to produce a session strength beer that has the flavour and body to stand up to stronger counterparts. Hazy and juicy, flavours of pineapple and ripe peaches with a touch of pithy bitterness on the finish.

26/08/2024

Just a quick reminder that we are open today until 6pm. TapaDeli are serving their super lovely food until 4pm.

So if you want to chill, just like Merlin, except with a pint and some delicious food, in an air-conditioned environment, we are open to serve you.
great food
