The Rex's Arms
The Rex's Arms (by PSEH CAMRA)
The brewery and Rex's Arms Taproom is in a large industrial unit, with the taproom overlooking the brew kit so you can often see parts of the brew process as you enjoy a beer. The bar has 8 lines that usually have a mix of core beers and specials on keg, can, and cask, with occasional guest beers on keg or in can. The taproom offers a range of sizes from pint, 2/3, 1/2, and 1/3, with taster flights available. There is also a venue upstairs called Rapture, which has a 20 tap keg wall, pouring a larger range of Staggeringly Good beers, as well as regular guest offerings. This offer is available almost all of the time, with only reduced selection for pre-football home matches at Fratton Park due to massive numbers of attendees. Food is served during most taproom hours from Natty's Jerk - Caribbean kitchen.
