Every Map Matters S-Shaped Challenge
To celebrate the comeback of our favourite IPA, Every Minute Matters, we're inviting you to spend time well this Spring!
All you need to do is run, walk or cycle your best Siren 'S' shape and track it on an app of your choice (like Strava, or Runna). Show this in-venue at Siren Tap Yard in Finchampstead, Siren RG1 in Reading or The George and Dragon in Swallowfield and you'll nab yourself up to 60% off your one drink immediately!
Take it a step further and upload your 'S' shaped map to get an additional online offer, and a chance to win the title of champion map (and a mini fridge filled with beer).
We've received some fantastic entries so far, and we can't wait to see what you've got in store for us.
Fornoza Pizza joins Siren Tap Yard. Permanently! 🍕
We're extremely excited to announce a new partnership with Fornoza, who will be providing flavour-forward pizzas and focaccia sandwiches from Tuesday 16th June.
Fornoza was founded by Josh and Pav, pictured below. To do the job properly, they'll be moving into a brand-new, fully kitted-out container kitchen on site at our Finchampstead Tap Yard.
"Fornoza started as a dream, a second hand gazebo, a few borrowed tables and an oven. Built on friendship, constant experimentation and a shared love for pizza we set out with one goal: to make the best pizza in the UK, as two twenty-two year olds with more ambition than sense." - Pav and Josh, Fornoza founders
Fornoza will be serving sourdough focaccia sandwiches during midweek lunch-times, and in the evenings and all weekend, the ovens will fire up for the full sourdough pizza menu. Alongside the core menu, customers can expect a rotating special; a chance for Josh and Pav to keep playing with seasonal ingredients and new ideas all year-round.
Don't worry, guest vendors aren't going anywhere. Bank holiday weekends and event days will still see other independent traders joining Fornoza on site, so there's always something new alongside the sourdough!
So what does all this mean for you? Local beer, local pizza, the way it should be; and all fabulously independent and hand crafted. Click below to find out more about Fornoza, and get ready for something truly special from June 16th!
Staff News 📢
We're pleased to introduce Pol Bellver as our new Tap Yard General Manager, who brings over a decade of hospitality experience to the team!

His craft beer knowledge runs deep, shaped during his time as General Manager at The Fisherman's Cottage in Reading, where he curated beer menus, ran events and built close partnerships with local breweries like ourselves. Be sure to drop in and say hi to Pol when you next join us for a pint at the Tap Yard!

Drop in to soak up the sun and discover our latest Food Menu here.
PACHANGA! Our #1 party beer is back 🎉
Back for the third year running, Pachanga joins our flagship Siren Pils as a lager designed to be absolutely crushed in the summer season ahead.
With a sea salt and lime twist, this Mexican-style lager is classically crisp and clean, and bursts into life with a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice. We even used corn in the grist (the mixture of malted barley and grains) to bring out a tortilla-like base in order to transport you to Mexico with each sip.
Available by the can, or why not stock the fridge with 12-packs to save 10%. And if you're local to us, you can find Pachanga on tap right now at Siren RG1 Reading Barand in the brewery Tap Yard!
Coming Soon... ⏰
We've got some really exciting stuff coming up in May; here's what you can expect.
Pompelmocello is coming back for a limited time! This popular Sour Grapefruit IPA (good enough to have received it's own 'Pompelmocellobration') is packed with Simcoe, Talus and Mosaic hops and accentuated with grapefruit zest and juice for good measure. Keep an eye out for it releasing mid-May alongside a fresh new NZ Pale Ale, Ocean Size.
On the 13th May, we're packing a fresh new tank of Soundwave 0.5 into cans; we know this has been on many of your wish-lists for a good few weeks now! If you want to be alerted the second this award-winning low alcohol IPA comes back into stock, click here to view the beer and then choose the "notify me" button.
June is going to be all about the collabs, so stay tuned to find out more about who we're brewing with; any guesses?
