This list makes interesting reading and the 2013 number is still increasing.
I make that 47 breweries and I have had a beer from 45 of them. I need Barnet but will have to visit the Brewpub.I also need Brockley so this wed night may try to find them around Crystal Palace area.
25 for me , and most of the missing ones are from the last two years...
Since the opening of the Redemption brewery in Tottenham in 2010 that took a lot of us by surprise, it definitely feels like being in at ground zero for the explosion of brewing in London since the dark day when Youngs buggered off up to Bedford..
The Black Horse in Barnet is just north of my manor so feel free to PM me when you are going and if I'm around I'll join you for a pint. The Palamino is quite a nice pint although I think this is still brewed for them by XT rather than in the in-house plant.
I have sampled beer from 18 of those breweries.Looking at the list of new breweries about start up and the 47 listed above,dare I whisper it that us Londoners will soon be enjoying an ale scene not too far dissimilar to that enjoyed by the good folk of Yorkshire. (Symbol: Tin hat on )
