The independent brewery will open The Hop Pole at 7 Albion Buildings on Thursday 14th May, marking the first time the company has operated a pub in Bath.<\/p>\n
The opening comes just ahead of Party in the City on 15th May, placing the new venue in the middle of one of Bath\u2019s busiest cultural weekends.<\/p>\n
Good Chemistry Brewing said the pub will bring its established approach to beer and hospitality from Bristol into Bath, with a focus on quality drinks, a relaxed setting and a community feel.<\/p>\n
The Hop Pole is expected to centre its offer around a rotating range of Good Chemistry beers, alongside guest pours.<\/p>\n
A daily happy hour will also form a key part of the launch offer, running from 4pm to 8pm seven days a week, with customers able to buy four pints for \u00a310.<\/p>\n
Managing director Mark Armstrong said: \u201cOpening our first pub is a huge step for us. We\u2019ve always been about creating spaces where people can come together over great beer, and The Hop Pole is the natural next evolution of that.<\/p>\n
\u201cBath felt like the perfect place to do it \u2013 it\u2019s a city with an amazing hospitality scene and a real appreciation for quality. We\u2019re excited to become part of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
The brewery said the combination of a central location, the timing of the launch and the venue\u2019s drinks offer should help establish The Hop Pole quickly within Bath\u2019s pub scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bristol-based Good Chemistry Brewing is preparing to open its first pub in Bath, with the new venue due…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":951690,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8818],"tags":[381,748,393,4884,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-951689","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bristol","8":"tag-bristol","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116553588590541062","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/951689","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=951689"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/951689\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/951690"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=951689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=951689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=951689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
