Originally the brewery tap for Trailhead brewery, it is now the tap for Drop Kick. The owner, Fin McCartney, was a brewer at Pilgrim but has now branched out on his own. As can be deduced from the name, he is a rugby fan. A range of keg beers are sold, but cask beers will appear from time to time. Trailhead opened August 2021 in farm buildings south of Dorking with Drop Kick taking over in December 2023. There are a couple of tables on the ground floor, which overlook the brewing equipment. Upstais there is more seating wiyth this area being available for private hire. Further seating is found outside; on some Saturday nights there will be live music out here. The farm yard is also home to the separate and independently owned Gin Kitchen where food is available. However there is also a food truck outside the brewery in the evening.
