Something I hadn't seen until they set up shop in Bristol, Zero Degrees is a micro-brewery and restaurant. It was built new a couple of years ago, and the glass walls of the building show big shiny tanks where their beer ferments.
I like to think I'm the sort of person that doesn't get taken in by big shiny things so I'll try and stay in discerning reviewer mode. It is very swish. Having been on a couple of real ale brewery tours, where things are generally old manish and bit folksy (which is fine), this is a interesting new take on the idea of a brewery. Don't go here expecting an old man with a beer belly to explain the fermentaion process and then let you drink four pints, though. The beer itself is pretty good. Refreshing and not too heavy, it goes well with the mostly Italian menu on offer. I've certainly had better, but pretty impressive considering it's from a micro-brewery.
Zero degrees should probably be applauded for having a go at breaking the mould a bit and trying to bring something new to Bristol. I like what they've done. Recommend to anyone who enjoys a pint, not just those who particularly enjoy their beer. read more
