It's the gem of a tap room where customers can sample beers brewed just yards away and tipsy treats produced using beery by-products.
At Flack's Taproom in Romsey, beer lovers are surrounded by the machinery which has produced their tipple.
With production in full flow all week at Flack Manor Brewery, things slow down on a Friday afternoon and drinkers are welcomed into the tap room and the yard for a welcome Friday or Saturday session.

There they can always enjoy Flack's Double Drop, a 3.7% classic session bitter, Romsey Gold, a 4.0% crisp refreshing golden ale and New Forest, a 4.9% IPA with flavours of lemon, grapefruit and peach.
Plus, punters are currently sinking plenty of pints of Sunshine, a 3.8% session IPA and Flack's Gold from the keg.
On Friday's, there are pop up food trucks, including gourmet toasties made with a tipsy twist of Flack's beer and a collaboration with 108 The Bakery in Romsey which sees delicious pizza sandwiches made with Flack's beer.

All the Flack's beers are available to take away, either either as bottled or take away cask beer in various sizes of containers.
There have been comedy, quiz and music nights in the past, but mostly the Flack's team just concentrate on producing great beer.
Quality manager Vicki Chambers said: "Quality and personal service are the big focuses for us and that follows through from the brewery to the tap room.
"It's great for local people to know exactly where we are and what we do. We love it when local people find us and we become their regular haunt. And it's great when people on holiday pay us a visit and take some beer back with them too."

The brewery, next to the river on the industrial estate in Greatbridge Road, has been going 14 years now.
It was set up by Nigel Welsh – a former director of the Ringwood Brewery – and his team, which together boasted decades of beer brewing experience.
Now employing nine people and supplying 130 pubs, clubs and restaurants in a 40 mile radius, they are still well known for their first cask ale, using the ‘double drop’ brewing traditional in southern beers.

The brewery also has great green credentials with its Maris Otter barley being grown less than eight miles away.
