Brown Friday


I had some meetings in London yesterday (Friday) and after work I popped over to see my Daughter in Fitzrovia, she was on good form and hadn't eaten yet so we jumped on the tube down to the new Brewdog underneath Waterloo station and had a couple of drinks and some (vegan) food. Even for a Friday the place was packed, almost standing room only and it's a massive place, good news for some sectors of the hospitality industry at least! I had a pint of brown ale (picture above) This style is quite unusual to see these days and this one was from talented Bermondsey brewers "The Kernel", it was delicious! Malt forward, slightly sweet with a classic bitter finish and just a hint of American "C-hops" (Centennial or Cascade perhaps) on the finish which is a modern twist on the style but worked perfectly.
