Message evergreen0199 P beers 5942 º 02:21 Sun 9/16/2012 I’ve never been down to Kernel on a saturday morning, do they have any of their beers on tap or is just bottles? I have been to the old and the new brewery locations during the week to pick up some bottles. Because I commute from zone 6 to 1 every weekday, I can’t be bothered with the same ritual on a saturday morning! I may have to make the effort sometime soon.

I’m in the same boat as you. 2 and a half to 3 hours round trip commute from Surrey to SW1 every day really doesn’t inspire a Saturday visit to London for me. I just pop down on a lunchtime every few months and fill up a rucksack. Next time I make one of my rare Saturday trips to the smoke I must also make the effort to pop down! I see the hours are listed as 9 to 3. What’s the earliest folks tend to show up for a drink?

I was out of country yesterday; sorry, Fin. I’ll be out the next two weekends as well so I’ll have to catch you lot in October.
Message evergreen0199 P beers 5942 º 06:29 Mon 1/14/2013 I’ve always really liked the Kernel beers but I am currently getting into this ’Kernel Love’ phase just now. The Kernel India Pale Ale Centennial Topaz Stella is just superb, I’ve now consumed about 5 bottles of this beauty. I get this huge contented smile on my face when I’ve finished it. It is just sad that with Kernel you know that the beer won’t be available for a long time. Drink em while you can I reckon.
Message tdtm82 beers 1704 º places 138 º 07:25 Mon 1/14/2013 You were at Kernel on Saturday, Fin? I was there at half 2 but completely missed you.

Thomas: note well that Fin’s post was in mid September, 2012. (Although, he may well have been there again last Saturday, I suppose.) :)
Message SarkyNorthener beers 5200 º places 142 º 09:56 Mon 1/14/2013 I am going to buy my first couple of bottles of Kernel this week. I suppose it will be more of a grope under the bra, rather than a love affair for the first time round. But who knows where it will lead?

(Although, he may well have been there again last Saturday, I suppose.) :) Just to set the record straight Leighton is correct, I wasn’t at Kernel on Saturday. We were at Whittlesey Straw Bear, nr Peterborough. A wonderful typically British bonkers winter folk event, with about 40+ Morris sides loads of pubs bursting to the seams and get this in one bar Oakham Straw Bear at £2.10 a pint, and whilst I am not that bothered about Courage Directors, Pedigree or Spitfire I certainly am not going to complain when I walk into another pub and see them at £1.80 a pint Is the fenlands area of the country always this cheap or is it just Straw Bear madness? Btw Tydd Steam Beartown another special along with Elgoods Straw Bear were also pretty good, though Oakham as ever stole the show. Glad we had the camper, because I did have a few Saturday.
