Hio guys! I hope I’m not completely wrong posting this here. I’ll be in London tuesday-friday next week, with at least one day dedicated to drinking and shopping beer (apart from the mandatory pub stops during sight-seeing and "non-beer-shopping" ;)). I’ve read quite a lot on this and other forums, glanced at the city map (will be staying in kings cross, by the way) and checked up on some of the local breweries. So I think I’ve got a clue about places that could be worth visiting.

Is there anything fun or out of the ordinary going on during my stay? Shops selling, or pubs serving, something extra interesting etc?

Also, is there any place where you still can get that hyped up bone king? ;)


Only event I can think of during your stay is at Mother Kelly’s: from Thirsday 20 to Sunday 23, taps are taken over by the chaps at The Bottle Shop, whit a selection of the "best" beers they could source, so hopefully meaning some one offs or rarer ones. Could be interesting but there’s still no beer list for the event. You can get updates on Twitter.
Cheers

The annual Old Ale festival at the Sloaney Pony (White Horse Parsons Green) is 21st-23rd November, they may have some on a day or so early too. It includes the launch of Sambrooks’ new Imperial Stout.

I would need to check to see if there is anything specific going on next week (can’t think of anything off the top of my head). I imagine there will be Bone King *somewhere* in London next week. I’ll keep my ears open and post here if I hear anything.
Sounds great, thanks! :)

Ah, I’m sure that would’ve been nice. Sadly, I’m leaving on friday 21st so won’t have much time to do anything that day.
