Plans for a new premises licence at Tenby’s microbrewery have been given the thumbs up by local councillors.

An application for the conversion of the existing vacant building alongside the current Harbwr Brewery, located at the Glass House, Sergeants Lane, to extend the microbrewery and visitor centre at ground floor and change of use at first floor level to A3 use (food and drink), was approved by Pembrokeshire Coast National Park’s development management committee last month.

The expansion of the Brewery and Tap Room will feature a new gin distillery as part of the plans.

“This licensing application covering the hours of 9 am and 12.30 am will cover the existing brewery and the new extension,” the town clerk Andrew Davies told members at last week’s meeting of Tenby town council.

Councillors offered no objections to the application which will now go before Pembrokeshire County Council’s licensing committee.
