After a very warm welcome, a tour of the brewery, and a couple of drinks at Weird Beard, we went to BrewDog Shepherds Bush for a beer and a bite, and to BrewDog Camden for a couple more drinks. A great start of this weekend in London!
Arrived a minute early — so no complaints there — then we went to our hotel — hub Spitalfields — to check in and have a quick play-around with the app operated controls.
Now it’s time to really get started: off to Weird Beard first, then to BrewDog Shepherds Bush and BrewDog Camden!
And off we go!
After having found our way to the temporary Eurostar terminal, the usual security checks, and a short wait, we boarded the train.
We’ve been to London several times before, but usually only as a stop on our way to, or coming back from Scotland. (More about those trips on @kiltedguy), and we’ve never actually spent a weekend in The Big Smoke. Because of this, we have never had the opportunity to visit a brewery there, since they only tend to be open for the public on Saturday, some on Friday or Sunday as well.
That’s all about to change: next week we’ll be heading back to London, to visit a number of breweries on the Bermondsey Beer Mile, and even a couple more. Oh, and some museums and sights as well!
If you’re in Brussels and would like to celebrate Burns’ Night somehow, next week Friday — I know, still a long wait — the Caledonian Society of Brussels is hosting a special Burns’ Ceilidh. As usual, The Hoggies will be playing, and Gavin will be calling the dances. Always great fun!
I haven’t been able to go a ceilidh for quite some while, so I really hope I can make it to this one… Kilt up!
