Have you been yet? If so, what’s been good?


My highlights from Tuesday’s session were Thornbridge Kipling (I don’t think there are many better cask beers brewed in Britain...), Brewsters Hophead, Arbor's Yakima Valley, an unspellable (lots of funny words and accents) Czech beer which contained coriander which was really good, Matuska Golden Rocket IPA and a lambic aged in Laphroig casks which was insane and brilliant (but only if you love sour beer and Islay whisky). The worst beer was Ballast Point’s Habanero Sculpin IPA. The normal Sculpin IPA is a fantastic beer but this was like drinking a combination of fire and hot sauce and in an already over-heating Earls Court it wasn’t a fun taste.


I’m going back again today and hoping to see more US and Czech beers on the bar (there are some really good Czech beers there) to be mixed with random choices of British beers to try and find some new breweries I’ve not tried before.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8717216232742676074-1515429569898736611?l=www.pencilandspoon.com
