On approach to Lost & Grounded’s taproom in South-East Bristol, the first thing you notice is a 10 metre high mural of the idyllic wilderness scene on the side of every can of Keller Pils.

It’s becoming a cliche to describe Keller Pils as a modern classic, but in all truth, when you’ve walked past that mural, and sat down with a pint overlooking their impressive brew kit (manufactured by Krones, and with the ability to propagate their own lactic acid), it’s hard to argue with the sentiment. The taproom is at the front of the brewery, and with some bunting, some fairy lights and a bit of greenery, it does an excellent job of making an industrial unit feel like somewhere you’d want to spend a whole afternoon and/or evening. In addition to their excellent German-Style beers, Lost & Grounded’s taproom is a great spot to discover the brewery’s range of Belgian inspired beers. There are four in their core range – a witbier, a farmhouse beer, a saison and a tripel. For food, they have an ever-changing offering from Bristol’s street food scene - check out the website at www.lostandgrounded.co.uk to see who’ll be there if you’re going. Our recommendation for a first pint? Keller Pils, but make sure you also try Apophenia, their Belgian style Tripel. There are also a number of excellent taprooms within walking distance, including Wiper & True’s brand new site, Left Handed Giant, Newtown Park, Good Chemistry, Moor Beer and Little Martha’s.
