Brewpoint is the modern home of Wells & Co, a Bedford brewing name with over 140 years of history. The taproom on Cut Throat Lane pairs a working brewery with a family-friendly food-and-drink destination — breakfast, lunch and dinner, pizza and brews, on-site games and a dedicated first-floor function space. Live entertainment runs regularly with free entry, showcasing local talent from Bedford and beyond; gigs kick off at 7:30pm and you can grab pizza and a brew before the band starts. The venue also hosts comedy, Barrioke, Oktoberfest and its own annual Beer & Beyond Festival with live music all weekend.

The Night
Brewpoint is Charles Wells' modern brewery and taproom on the edge of Bedford, with over 140 years of brewing history behind it. The open mic runs every Sunday afternoon from 4pm to 7pm, inviting singers and players from Bedford and beyond into the taproom — an easygoing, family-friendly slot with craft beer fresh off the brewery and food on hand. It's a daytime session rather than a late one, perfect for a relaxed first gig.
