Introducing Phantom Brewing Co.
Craft beer brewery, Phantom, based in Reading officially opened their doors in November 2019. Just before the world was locked down, but that didn’t stop the guys at Phantom. Their main aim is to produce the freshest beer, using the highest quality ingredients. They have a taproom at their brewery in Reading where they work hard in providing a welcoming community.
In early 2021 after we finally got out of the third lockdown, they opened a second bar in the warehouse unit next door and extended their opening hours.
If you’d like to find out more about Phantom Brewery and their beers, they have some great blogs on their website.
