I was wondering around Hampstead Village a few weeks back filling time while waiting for my Son to finish work (he lives nearby) it was late in the afternoon and the rain was starting to set in so I looked for somewhere to take cover and maybe have a coffee or something. I turned down a side street off of Heath St. and low and behold stumbled across a little craft beer bar (The Tipsy Dog). Never one to pass up an opportunity for an interesting half of something I wondered in, it was empty and so I ordered a half of a pale ale I'd never tried before and got chatting to the barman.
The venue itself was really small, only 4 taps (keg only) and perhaps a dozen or so seats plus a couple of large beer fridges that were filled with cans and bottles (some good stuff), more of a "bottle shop" than a bar I suppose although it was a nice little space and the perfect refuge from a Summer downpour! I only had time for one and after that I headed on down the hill to where I was meeting my boy, however next time I'm up in Hampstead and have half an hour to kill I know exactly where I need to go!
