    Portland, Maine for the weekend. Tomorrow is the annual wild beer spectacular, but tonite the same bar is having a tap takeover by Other Half. Tough drinking with those %’s.

    Sour beer day, sort of fitting after that result. 

    They even supply free Tums, because this is going to hurt.

    @Bournemouth Addick, you should see the bottle pour prices on the other side. 6oz of a Drie Fonteinen rarity for just $22. 

    Nobody said this was going to be easy.......or cheap.

    What's 6oz about 1/3 pint? That's ridiculous!

    Lovely looking calendar. Hope it's full of goodies and not short dated tripe..

    @McBobbin please post your daily beers on here...  Reason being that I had that calendar before and it's about as 'craft' as your local Greene King boozer..which might, of course, not matter to you, but it really did to me.

    I've had the 'local' one from Hop Burns and Black for the last few years and it's truly excellent...but at £99 you'd hope so eh?  Will also post daily beers here.  Happy drinking. Cheers

    Sure thing @Charlton_Charlie I'll see what I can do. Last year was decent, pretty sure some of them were quite widely available but apart from Kvak or whatever it's called don't think I had had them before. Nice mix of light and dark beers, and only a few stinkers

    Wiper and True, really smooth milk stout from Bristol :smiley:
    Wasn't that Ena Sharples' tipple of choice?

    Had a pint of Five Points Railway Porter last night in The Clachan in Soho. What a fabulous pint that was, perfect for a miserable autumn evening. 
    A proper porter too, bitter with sour notes. Really lovely.

    I've just moved to a job at Liverpool Street, and my god the prices round here are shocking

    When I worked up there I used to take a short stroll to some of The Spitalfields pubs.
    It was like walking into a different world, just by crossing the road.
    There used to be some "proper pubs" then, as opposed to a lot of the poncy ones around Liverpool Street.
    The Weatherspoons on Liverpool St station will presumably be the cheapest.

    Hamilton Halls.  Prices reasonable enough for the City. Bit of a football pub at select times.  No shortage of Big Issue salesmen...

    Been teetotal for 5 years but when i worked in town,  07.00  full English breakfast with two pints of Westons White Top and then off to work!

    Spitalfields Market is one of the most expensive food markets I've seen, most lunches there are £7-9 (and I'm a big eater...), so I've avoided the drinking spots

    Only been here a month so I need to hunt down the good boozers

    The pub was on the other side of the market, first main road you came to.
    I saw Ken Stott (Rebus) in there once, having a quiet pint.

    I really like The Rake, but it can be pricey.

    First up, I have "sweet child o pine" a seasonal pale ale from Weird Beard in Chiswick. I had a massive weekend, and manflu, so might build up to a tasting later in the week

    Opened my Hop Burns & Black advent calendar today and beer #1 is Verdant Brewery's Fruit Car Sight Exhibition DIPA which I've had before and is a banger...

    Probably one of Verdants best beers.
    Putty is the best thing they do, sadly it's very infrequent.

    Next batch should be released in Jan. They now brew it before Xmas so they can give it longer in the tanks during their Xmas shut down without it effecting their regular brewing schedule

    got the beefwulf advent calendar but only started today ! 

    1 - Afligem 300ml 9%

    Slightly sweet tasting but imagine dangerous on a hot summers day.

    Day 2 in the mcbobbin house: everyday hero, new world IPA from the Amundsen brewery. Guessing it's Norwegian. Stuffing my face with some out of date stuff purchased for a pound. Will save the decent stuff and report back. Just had "collaboration beer" by vibrant forest brewery, and unity brewing co... A spiced Belgian Dobbel. Like all recent Belgian attempts of note, pissy vinegar. Boo.

    Was at the British Guild of Beer Writers Awards Dinner last night. Our book, Today South London, Tomorrow South London was nominated in the Beer & Travel Writing category - didn't win, but still an honour to be involved. 

    Anyway, Brewer of the Year was...


    Burnt Mill.
