DiS Beer Wankers 2.0

is Sur Mosaic great (i.e worth the premium price) ? Always hover over buying it in the beer shop but end up going for something else

Apparently I’ve had it twice. Yes, it is. Not very sour, good hop taste. As long as you like mosaic hops and sours, you’ll be fine.

I get paid on Friday and I’m planning to spend at least a couple of hours touring the beer shops of Glasgow.

Moving about 10 mins walk from Valhalla’s :goat: Could be bad.

It used to be on my drive home and it was easy to stop in. Now I’ve moved I find I’ll visit much less often but spend much more.

Apparently Craft Beer Co are opening another new pub in London. Any ITKs know where it’s going to be?

I don’t, but I was really surprised when they opened the last one in Limehouse. My boss who hangs out there a lot said the neighbourhood really didn’t seem suited to it.

They were supposed to be one of the launch venues for Boxpark in Croydon but that didn’t happen. I wonder if that’s on again.

Oh, did it not? I just assumed it had. Drive through Croydon quite often to visit mates, and keep meaning to make a diversion to stop off for a coffee at Mud and a beer at Craft…

I’m hoping for another one SW. Maybe Tooting or somewhere.

No it fell through. There’s a small Cronx micropub But the big bar is a generic beer place. But I think that was only temporary until they sorted something,

Also if your going to stop off in Croydon go to Matthews Yard instead, it’s a great little space.

They’ve got a decent craft beer bit. They also put on gigs, theatre, cinema and bits and bobs. I’m not a fan of Boxpark.

Or go to the Oval.

It’s a lovely pub, with decent ales, gigs, and a lovely beer garden,

It’s also famous for pub scenes in the Peep show.

Nice. Will do. So many pubs, so little time.

A couple more things. While your in town, if you go to Matthews Yard, you’ll be very close to Freshfields Market, which has a really fantastic range of craft beer on sale.

If your in Croydon at the end of this month, this is a really decent beer festival.

Croydon has always got a bad press, but I’ve never had any problems, infact I’m pretty protective of my home town, But perhaps its because if you know where to go and look, its actually rather nice.
