Under the South Eastern Main Line viaduct out of London Bridge, there
are now lots of small craft-beer breweries and pubs. (Images.)
Started the crawl in Borough Market, where I didn't eat this
(though I was mildly tempted).
Plenty of venison and ostrich burgers, but no goatburger. Not even at
Gourmet Goat, though they did have goat kebabs.
Some interesting labels in Utobeer.
Stop 1: Southwark Brewing Co, for a very pleasant London Pale Ale.
Stop 2: London Beer Factory, for a thymey pale and a thin but pleasant
stout. We accreted a protective layer of sports fans between us and
the outside world.
Stop 3: Anspach & Hobday, where the Experimental Sean was excellent,
the rest less impressive.
Some of the locals don't want the new street market. I suspect they
selfishly want to get their cars in and out on market day.
Stop 4: Moor Beer Co, definitely going all-in on the steel box chic.
Stop 5: Brew By Numbers, pricey even by these standards but tasting good.
Stop 6: Partizan, bare even by these decorating conventions but not
too crowded so not excessively loud.
Stop 7: Fourpure, which was apparently having some kind of relaunch
event. One of our party was able to get us in.
Not sure whether this was an advertisement for something or just
graffiti.
Back along Druid Street.
Stop 8: Ubrew, mostly closed down but still able to take our money.
Stop 9: the Marquis of Wellington, and so home and to bed.
