TAPROOM REVIEWS

Don’t just take our word for it, the people have spoken! Of course we’ve cherry-picked some of the best, but they’ve said it better than we can.

Shedshaker ticks all the boxes — great food, a fantastic selection of local wines (the Chardonnay was a standout), and a welcoming, vibrant atmosphere. It’s pet-friendly, which made the experience even better, and the staff were absolutely amazing — friendly, attentive, and full of local knowledge. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy genuine hospitality. Can’t wait to return!

A great local venue that makes its own beer, hosts great music and makes a conscious and active contribution to our community. We have had a great partnership over the years hosting numerous community events and conversations in a fun, inclusive space
Bryn - Google Review 2025
The WCIPA is exceptional as was the Pils. The Frailty pale ale is the epitome of the style. For the type of beer that’s usually pretty pedestrian, Frailty is the best I’ve ever had - perfect balance of hops, malt and esters and a finish so crisp it snaps on the palate. The Supercharged Italian Pils! Mio Dio! Absolutely masterful.
