On my mate's birthday and we've picked this thing called the Bermondsey beer mile. Starts in these craft beer places under the arches near south Bermondsey, but we had to stop off in the blue anchor because of the rain. It's so Millwall. I'm in hell here. Half expecting all the kids to all start chanting milllllllll

What a load of shite

And they've just put chas and dave on....

    Never been on it myself but I heard it's good.

    If any of the scum give you grief just say I'm Charlton and what?! Usually bemused looks from most. If they start repeat I'm Charlton and what whilst biting off a piece of glass from the pint. They will soon leave off and you get on with your day. from experience it works . obviously be careful with the glass.

    Did it a few months ago, it's a cracking day out. We purposely picked a Saturday that the scum were away though. :smiley:

    Does this include the ship aground at dockhead or is that too far along?

    Did it again a few weeks ago with some mates - bloomin excellent way to spend a Sat afternoon (if you can avoid the large stag/b'day parties etc ;-)!!)....ended up at the Wheatsheaf in Bermondsey St on that occasion...never been in before but a good choice of beer... @creepyaddick it doesn't involve any pubs at all...the mile 'true' is a selection of breweries under the railway arches between Bermondsey and London Bridge (apart from Fourpure, which is on an industrial estate)....it finishes on Druid St where there are a couple of breweries/bottle shops within a few hundred metres of each other...think they all close by 7pm or so and then you either head home (hammered) or on to the bright lights of Borough High St / Bermondsey St...

    There is actually a new(ish) brewery under the arches in Deptford (Village Brewery), so you could extend the mile and start there....it's then a 10 min cab ride to Fourpure... Or worth checking out Village on it's own one Sat afternoon...

    The new Dutch taproom there is unimaginably great. Turns out the Dutch scene is every bit as good as Belgium's, and the guy who runs it gets the absolute pick of it all. Never seen so many amazing strong dark ales in one place before

    Did this recently. Great afternoon. Started off at Maltby Street Market for some nice street food and then the beer mile starts around the corner

    You'd be surprised what some on here can imagine Leuth.

    Step forward @DaveMehmet!

    Started at Enid Street, did a loop back around Maltby Street.

    Impressed with the number of the venues brewing on the premises and with the range of beers. Drank mainly in 1/2 & 1/3rd pints and low ABVs to get around as many venues as possible. Was perfect weather too and was pleased with the win.

    Seriously impressed with the whole thing and the cheese toasty at Maltby Street was a perfect snack to set us up for the return trip!

    And feel fresh enough and carbed up enough to go for a run later! Although we combined beer and exercise in theory!
