Some genius has opened a summer pop-up bar in the local country park.

I pride myself on an innate ability to sniff out craft beer wherever it is available. It has led to some disgruntled colleagues traipsing around dark corners of strange cities at times, but has...

I've been trying to pinpoint the exact bar but unsurprisingly I can't. Somewhere in Hoàn Kiếm, in April 2019, which was sadly my most recent visit.

That brings back some happy memories, lovely!

Me too, added to the shopping list.

Staropramen, which goes rather well with the ludicrous quantity of spicy snacks that have been kindly sent my way over the holiday period.

I shall report back. The Free Wheeling looks tasty.

Fortune has blessed me with the discovery of another local micro. I had a couple of hours to while away whilst waiting for our youngest at gym class, and spent it exploring the Napoleonic War era...

Nifty balancing trick

Yes, it's a DAC90A.

Brewed by a mate in his garage, tastes like Staropramen with extra love.

Association I guess, my memories are quite pleasant so I rather like them.

£2.50 gets me the astonishingly good value Duvel Tripel Hop, I might just alternate with the magnificent Trappistes Rochefort 10 and make it a Belgian only calendar this year.

Off the Christmas list then :suspicion:

Mmm, those two porters look well worth an expedition to M&S and worthy additions to the beer advent calendar this year.

I need to give that a whirl. Even when in Colombia I get my coffee beans from Costa Rica. Probably best I keep quiet about that though.

I've sampled the Delapre Dark, Wagtail and Gobbler from Great Oakley so far this evening and I can't fault any of them.
