Skinners Brewery relaunching as the ultimate venue for beer, food, live music and sport

Thursday 22nd June, 2023

The team behind the relaunched Skinner’s Brewery say they are looking forward to welcoming their Newham-based supporters to their new tap yard.

Earlier this month, it was announced that Cornwall’s Goodh Brewing Co had taken the Skinner’s brand and beers under their wing after the much-loved firm went into administration last year.

There are now plans to open ‘the ultimate venue for beer, food, live music and sport’ at the Skinner’s site in Newham.

Truro Tap Yard, as it will be known, will be a go-to hangout for locals, including staff from Newham’s diverse range of businesses.

Many have been checking in on the refurbishment progress to see when the new venue will be open.

Jessica Simpson, owner of Skinners & Goodh Brew Co, said: "The local support we have already received has been amazing.

“We have had people from the surrounding businesses in daily to check if we are open yet. We are hoping we can offer a great lunch venue for businesses and locals alike.”

Co-owner Louis Simpson added: "I worked in Newham 18 or so years ago so it’s a return to base for me. I would have loved to have had access to the taproom then.

“We hope the Tap Yard can become a hub for our visitors to connect with co-workers, laugh with friends and enjoy a pint of Cornwall.”

Truro Tap Yard is due to open on July 1.
