Brighton Beer Dispensary

Absolutely love this place. The pulled pork burger is the best pulled pork burger in town, the roasts are as well. But the best part of the pub is — of course — the beer. Such great selection of all sorts of beers from all over the world. The staff ain’t half bad either, both friendly and knowledgeable.
They could do with larger premises though. It’s always hard finding somewhere to drink the beers.

Brighton Beer Dispensary is hidden in the area of Churchill Square and you should definitely go there if you love exploring pubs. Ask for the surprise pint!

I met a friend here just before Christmas on a really wet and gloomy night and we had a lovely reception. It’s quite compact inside and is so close to the centre of town (it’s just by Churchill Square) that I was surprised I’d never been before, or knew about it. Inside has a vintag-​ie feel, which was quite cosy and we shared a side of onion rings which were really delicious. There were two people behind the bar and they were very friendly and they serve a really interesting selection of unusual drinks. I think I had a ginger still cider (?) Would definitely recommend and intend to go back.

Yes! A small little gem with a nice selection of various beers. They do keg and cask (which I am not to familiar with, but the bar keep explained the difference to us, but I think it got a bit lost to us) with different beers, both local and more not so local.
We got to taste some of the beers before we decided as well and were explained what they tasted like as well, which I like.
The place might get a bit crowded since its not the biggest one in the world, but it was a cozy little place and I would love to go here if ever in Brighton again. Did not have the time to stay for long, but I liked what I saw.
They also to quiz and have a selection of board games if you are into that.
Oh yes, they also do burgers and some sides, from the menu it felt tasty, but we didnt try any of their food, so I cannot tell.
All in all, glad we walked in on this place. You do not have to be a beer geek to go here or add all your beers to untappd, but its a place where you can try a lot of different beers for sure.

Great events, weekly quiz on a Wednesday night, Half Price Wings on Thursdays and the best beerkins in Brighton

I’m a big fan of BBD! It’s not huge, but it’s a welcoming space, with a great selection of bottled and draft craft beers and ciders. They also have a mystery light and dark beer selection that changes regularly, which they reveal once the cask or keg is finished. There’s almost always a selection of Kernel, Partizan and Beavertown beers, in addition to some fine Belgian brews, like Delirium Tremens. The only reason I haven’t added a 5^th star is that a few more kegs would not go amiss here.
Oh, and most importantly, they have deep fried gherkins that are FLIPPING DELICIOUS. Their chips are great too, but deep fried gherkins. Fried pickles. yes yes yesssss.
The bar staff and proprietor (proprietrix, really) are friendly and fun (I suggest going during Oktoberfest for lederhosen looks and some great German keg brews) and it’s a welcome addition to the growing craft beer community here in Brighton.
