The Count Me In Collective, a community-based training brewery for people with learning disabilities and or neurodiversity, has applied to take over the outhouse of The Castle Tap.
The team support people with additional needs by offering support and training within the hospitality and brewing industries, with the aim of getting them into work.
The organisation is based at the pub, and the application would convert the rear building of the Castle Street pub into a microbrewery.
A crowdfunding campaign has raised more than £10,000 so far.
The application can be seen by logging on to Reading Borough Council’s planning portal and searching for reference 240688.
