Spent a nice afternoon sampling craft beer with a couple of mates in Bermondsey yesterday, the weather played ball for once and it was sunny and warm all day. My friends were down from Cheshire and had never sampled the delights of the "mile" so I took them along the railway arches up to Spa Terminus and The Kernel brewery before turning around and walking back to London Bridge stopping off in selected venues to try out their various offerings on route. Of course I had to drop into Anspach and Hobday for a pint of London Black and was thrilled to find that they had their cans on sale. The canned version is quite new and only came out a couple of months ago and is in very short supply at the moment, I'll be keen to see if it holds up against the draft version which was brilliant as usual! My Northern friends thought it was one of the best beers they'd ever had, high praise indeed, most Northerners I know usually aren't that complimentary about "Southern" brews.
I snapped this shot of the sun over the river on the walk back to Waterloo station, Bankside was bustling with music, food vendors (gorgeous smells!) and people enjoying the evening air, it was a splendid stroll!
