BEER ON DRAFT, FRESH AS!

At Rhyme X Reason we like to try and do a little bit of everything, as long as it is top quality and tastes amazing. In the taproom portion of the brewery we have 14 taps which are ever changing with nothing but good sh*t!
We want to make sure our locals are looked after however, so we made sure to keep on a select few, that we like to call the "core range".
