A couple of @durationbeer.bsky.social beers this evening, starting with Deep Fried, and followed by Fishermen. Deep Fried is a big, punchy, juicy hazy IPA. Fisherman, on the other hand, is a bright, zesty, crisp Pale Ale. Great stuff!

It’s been too long since my last visit to Hop Stop so it was great to go today. Very happy to see that they still had @sierranevadabeer.bsky.social Celebration on tap, as well as a Fuerst Wiacek collaboration with @verdantbrew.bsky.social
Finished off with a Vault City pastry sour.

I’ve had a couple more beers tonight after the Destinatiom trilogy.
Another @kernelbrewery.bsky.social beer - IPA Nectaron in their taproom; then Floc Brewing Whisper at Craft Beer Junction.

I’m at @kernelbrewery.bsky.social taproom for a taste of the Destination Trilogy - Session, “Standard”, and Double. The other breweries are @elusivebrewing.com and @burningskybeer.bsky.social.
All three beers are amazing. Pitched perfectly in their respective levels (4%, 6%, and 8%). A masterclass!

Great evening at the @britbeerwriters.bsky.social Awards. Lots of great beers, but mainly just nice to catch up with everyone and cheer friends on. So happy that @tabamatu.bsky.social @elusivebrewing.com won Brewer of the Year and Beer of the Year (for Oregon Trail) and Silver for his book.

Well I totally forgot to post these last night! A couple of post dinner beers - first a clean, crisp, refreshing Helles from Brewpoint; then the awesome Turtles All The Way Down from @durationbeer.bsky.social l!

In addition to the Collabageddon beers at Fuggles Beer Cafe, I also seized the opportunity to try Anspach & Hobday Yulelaw - a Brown Ale with a nice hit of cinnamon and chocolate. A real cracking beer for Christmas, this. May have to grab some for the festive period.

Tracked down 3 of the 5 #Collabageddon beers that I didn’t have on Friday. The location was Fuggles and I started with @durationbeer.bsky.social x Tap Social’s Goatfell. A Mountain IPA, it’s got the juiciness of a NEIPA - pineapple and lychee - but some bready malt too. Great beer!

A couple of beers tonight. First up, my second can of Camberwell from @durationbeer.bsky.social. A lovely beer which really hits the spot.
Then on to a stout (well, it is Stouterday after all!) from @redwillowbrewery.bsky.social which I picked up when I visited their taproom in September. Gorgeous!

Last night was spent in the company of Brook of @brollybrewing.bsky.social talking with him about his involvement in this year’s Collabageddon. While I was there, I was witness to Brook receiving a Gold award from @camraofficial.bsky.social for Little Pearl in the CBOB competition. Congrats Brolly!

It was #Collabageddon night last night and I was at @brollybrewing.bsky.social Taproom. They have a strict rotation system, so I had 7 out of the 12 beers, but I may pop back over the weekend to see if they’ve put any of the others on!
So let’s break down what I had last night…

The I’m in London this evening, and I’ve tracked down a pub (Wenlock Arms) serving the innovative cask project from @unbarredbrewery.bsky.social & @elusivebrewing.com. They got together together to brew two beers - Player 1, a Black IPA; and Player 2, a Red IPA.

2nd stop is a Berlin craft beer institution. You can’t say you’ve done craft in Berlin if you haven’t been to Hopfenreich!
Delighted to finally see Fuerst Wiacek on tap, so naturally went for that, as well as a great stout from Gorilla (love their tagline - “No beer for Nazis”!)

It’s Saturday night and I’m still in Berlin, so after dinner we’ve come for some beers - firstly at Heidenpeters. It’s part of a food market, most stalls closed by the time we get there, except for their bar located right beside a large FV. I went for two beers, both very nice!

This evenings beers were taken at Manifest Taproom, where I had 3 beers from Protokoll (Tactile Poetics, Hysterical Strength, and Little Red Corvette) and Heidenpeters Stout. Four really good beers in a nice space.

I’ve enjoyed my first day in Berlin. I say “day” but by the time I’d cleared the 45 min passport control queue (thx Brexit!) & missed a train to the centre because we were waiting too far up the platform to notice that the train had arrived, it was 3:30 when we got to the hotel.

This beer pairs just as well with fajitas at home as it does with movies at the cinema!
