  • Coach trip to Missing Link and Flying Trunk Brewery taprooms Friday 19 September 2025 12:30 Brickmaker's Alehouse

    The next Brickmaker’s Alehouse, will be on Friday 19 September to the Missing Link brewery Taproom and then on to the Flying Trunk Brewery Taproom. The minibus will leave promptly at 12.30. The Missing Link Taproom is in West Hoathly. Up to 10 craft keg beers can be expected with a focus on pales and IPAs. They also have a cider made from apples from their own orchard. We will leave there about 4pm and travel the short distance to Forest Row to visit the Flying Trunk Brewery. Only established in 2022, we expect to find a mixture of 4 core cask and key keg ales plus a number of guests.

    We leave at 6.30 arriving back to the Brickmaker’s at around 7.40. The cost of the trip is just £19. Be sure to book at the bar asap as only 22 places are available and it is expected this trip will sell out.
