Hello! I think this is probably the longest I have been without blogging since I started this page about a year ago.
The past 6 or 7 months have been a bit crazy and really just flown by! My job has changed slightly, we've moved flat again (sadly to possibly the only area of Greater London without any breweries or decent pubs), Christmas, mine and my girlfriend's birthdays have happened, and the clocks have gone both backwards and forwards in the space between this post and my last.
We also took an amazing trip to Thailand back in January. And, would you believe it, stumbled upon a craft brewery!
It was a Chalawan Pale Ale from Full Moon Brewworks, enjoyed at Pint Factory in Phuket. It was a real find in the city and great to see how craft is present across the globe! The bar itself had a small but nice selection of American and British craft beer, along with a couple from Thai breweries.
The beer scene in London in these few months has also gone from strength to strength, with more new breweries spouting and events happening across the city. My social media barely goes a day without someone announcing a tap takeover, meet the brewer or beer festival, and I think the London and UK beer scene is all the better for it.
I'm keeping this post short as I dip back into the mash tun of blogging, but expect to see over the next couple of weeks a look back at my recent beery trip to Bristol and something on vegan breweries, which I am in the process of writing.
That's all for now, but if you're looking for something a bit longer I'd suggest taking a look at Matt Curtis' recent articles on Total Ales about the modern beer drinker and on Good Beer Hunting about the London beer scene, accompanied by some great photos.
Until next time, happy drinking!
