I’m really looking forward to that first pint of Sussex Best at Royal Oak tomorrow afternoon; flying out tonight! If I’m not too jet-lagged, I hope to stop in at Craft Clerkenwell later in the afternoon - if hotel check-in and smartphone fiddling all go smoothly.

Let us know about Saturday Harry. I will be in Bermondsey anyway. Just depends on your jetlag

If you are in the Royal Oak tomorrow, you really should try the excellent Harvey’s Waterloo Rye IPA.

See, I was there for the first time ever in July and decided *not* to have that. Just didn’t seem right somehow. But then I guess it would be interesting to see how such a traditional brewery would do something so crafty as that.

As a fellow tourist I could recommend a Holborn-Covent Garden crawl from Princess Louise to Cross Keys to the Harp with a Craft Beer Co. option. Probably something else obvious around there I’m missing.

Not crafty at all. A 200 year old recipe recreation thing. They had to use rye as all other grain was used in the war effort.
