Today I have a tour of various historic pubs and breweries in Cambridge, each with unique backstories and atmospheres. Starting with The Elm Tree, known for its vintage décor and selection of cask ales, the journey highlights The Cambridge Brew House’s microbrewery and quirky interior, as well as Pint Shop’s blend of historical charm and modern design. Other notable stops include The Free Press, The Tram Depot, and The Blue Moon, each featuring distinctive features and local brews. I emphasise the community vibes, live music, and a variety of beer choices across these establishments, culminating in a visit to The Broken Seal Tap Room in Stevenage.
