High Street Merchants shares the same opening times with many of the new 'micro-pubs' that are more common in the South of England which tend to close early. High St Merchants itself is now run by Allan and Ellie Heaney and offers beers on hand pump brewed by the 'en suite' Two Thirsty Men micro behind the shop. Currently, three brews are available as cask and bottles from the brewery, 74, Spey and Angus IPA. This is the Brewery Tap associated with the 'Two Thirsty Men' microbrewery, owned by Frazer and Karen Blyth, assisted by Colin Smith. [Update 9th June 2023: report of no real ale available, due to production temporarily ceasing at Two Thirsty Men micro-brewery.]
