A NEW micropub is opening in Ross-on-Wye next week.

The Tap House in Millpond Street will open its doors at 4pm on September 14.

The Mayor of Ross Harry Bramer will attend the grand opening.

The Vine Tap Ltd from Ledbury have converted an empty retail shop to open the micropub.

The site was previously a licensed premises, known as the Tap House, and formed part of the Alton Court Brewery which closed in 1956.

A micropub is a small, simple alehouse specialising in beer made by microbreweries.

The Tap House will sell real ales and gins.
