I'm definitely not going to It Ain't Much today...

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Last Passport visit of the day is Against The Grain cider. Three of their ciders on tap plus a good beer selection. And empanadas.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Also spotted that what was Moor and became The Blue Monk has now rebranded as The Volley South to tie them in with their sister pub in Old Street.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

So my next passport stamp was going to be Gosnells, but they have gone from the mile and been replaced by Big Hug. 10 taps of their beers which are contract brewed at various London breweries.

It's a short bus ride down to Bermondsey where stop 3 is Anspach & Hobday 'The Arch House'

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Bus and train south brings me to Great Beyond Brewing in Hoxton. Taproom in a railway arch offering 12 taps and two cask.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Only ten left to visit in my Beer Passport with, hopefully, 5 done today. First up is my first visit to East London Brewing's new Blackhorse home. The old Wild Card site. I've caught one of the last weekends of the current layout as they are due to open a "pub" on the mezzanine above the brewery.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

The guy behind Anomaly Brewing has also decided to give up as well. I'd specifically asked about them as I knew 7000 Jars was one of the most reliable outlets for their beers. Strike 2 more off the London Brewery list. Un-cheers! 2/2

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Brewery updates : Talking with the guys at 7000 Jars of Beer last night they brought me up top date with a couple of local breweries that they deal with regularly. The Park Brewery in Kingston has closed, I knew that this one might happen, but still sad to have it confirmed. 1/2

040

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

A few minutes walk back in to the centre and I'm at 7000 Jars Of Beer. 6 taps plus a huge packaged selection. Always worth a visit.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Jumped on to the bus back in to Kingston where the next stop is one off the updated to-do list, WeBrew Kingston. Windsor & Eton Brewery have taken on a bar next to the river a short walk from the town centre. 10 taps and 2 handpumps. Pizza is on offer too. Nice airy space in a good location.

060

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

With the bus due I took one last look up the road and the door had opened!!!! Just waiting for him to set up. It's a miracle!

After 2.5 hours of travelling by bus and train to the Surrey borderlands my next planned stop is closed... Shoot me.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

It's a relatively short walk up to Supercute Brewhouse for my next stamp. Spacious arch tap room with 10 beers on. Thankfully the Google opening hours were correct, not the ones on their website. The Guide will be updated accordingly.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Not many spots planned today as I pick off my remaining Beer Passport stamps, but lots of travelling! Starting in Brixton Brewery Tap. Helpfully the beers on the left of the board are the core range brewed on the larger plant with the smaller batch beers, brewed next door, are on the right.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Brewery Update : Talking with the Brockley Brewery owner last night and they confirmed that all of their beers are brewed at Hither Green. Brockley Brewery (Brockley) is therefore removed from the list of London breweries.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

My planned final stop is actually closed for a private event. A taproom. Closed. On Saturday. I'll take the hint and call it a day.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Next up is one off my usual track, Umbrella Cider House in Bethnal Green. Moment of panic as I approached as there is very clearly a private party going on, but the guy behind the bar assured me I was ok. Two halves of cider and another stamp in the passport

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

It's just a couple of minutes down the road to Stone Mini Market. They have come a long way beer wise since my first visit. Now very much a must visit when in the area. 6 beers on tap and a huge packaged selection. Plus they now stock Brets!

1160

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

One stop along the Suffragette Line to Leytonstone High Road where the Calamity Tank, tap for Libertalia, is in one of the arches under the station. 12 taps, a mix of their beers plus guests.

2100

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Stop three today is Gravity Well Taproom. Arch taproom under Leyton Midland Road station. 10 of their own beers on tap plus packaged beers.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

A few stops on the bus brings me to King of Prussia. Visiting to confirm that since the change of ownership earlier this year the beer range is a shadow of what it was. 20 mainstream taps and 5 handpumps, 4 of which are "coming soon" Expect a Guide deletion...

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Greetings all! Mostly concentrating on the Beer Passport again today. Down to the last 20. A two hour journey gets me to The Bohemia, home of London Brewing Company. Good mix of their own beers, both cask and keg. The passport discount here means I get a flight for only £3.15.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Having visited Bouldr Bar last year and then again this year the work that Stacey has put in to it is evidence of his passion and belief.

0101

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Short walk down the road to today's final stop, Clapton Craft (Finsbury Park). 9 taps plus a large packaged selection.

070

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

One stop on the bus down to The Robin. As busy as ever, which is always good to see. 6 cask ales, 10 taps and ciders. This is a great pub.

1100

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Another couple of buses gets me to Bohem's second bar, Nicholas Nickleby. 10 taps split between their own beers and guests.

080

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Walk and bus to Muswell Hill and Muswell Hillbilly Taproom. Cosy space in a mews with 5 taps.

2110

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

A few doors down the road is the original Bohem Brewery Taproom. 6 taps, 4 their own. Confirmation that they are opening a fourth bar in Islington.

1110

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Bus to the Bowes Park area where stop 3 is Hillbilly Social. The second venue run by Muswell Hillbilly Brewery. 4 of their beers on tap in this friendly community pub.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Travelled to stop 2 more in hope than expectation but very happy to find Redemption Brewery & Match Day Taproom is open. 3 cask and 2 keg beers available. Still early and quiet but a nice mix of home and away fans.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

I'm back in London! With the end of the year looming I've decided to make some more progress with my Beer Passport stamps. First up Pressure Drop Brewery & Taproom. 10 taps with a fair few guests on thanks to their Summer Sour Sesh.

Finally, a quick PSA. During my recent visits to the Wild Swan I spotted, and then confirmed with the manager, that, for the foreseeable future, they will be closed on Sundays. Understandable given their location, but definitely a shame.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

I will recommend going to see @thinkingdrinkers.bsky.social new show, The Great British Pub Ride, if you get the chance. A very good evening last Friday watching them in London.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Hello! Apologies for the radio silence recently, just going through a busy time at work and a plethora of summer social commitments. Also frantically researching bars for my fast approaching holiday. Normal service will resume at some point, although I'm not sure what normal is... 🍻🍻🍻

Brewery Updates : CBJ Brewing has ceased. This was confirmed on my recent visit. Up The Creek Brewery's kit is currently being listed on ebay so it's a fair assumption that it has now closed.

030

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

It's all gone wrong! Stop 3 was German Kraft, stop 4 London Beer Lab, and stop 5 Ghost Whale Brixton. Stop 6 is Harlem Brewing Company Taproom in Central Brixton. A dozen taps of Supercute beers plus some guests.

2110

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Stop 4 is Ghost Whale Brixton. 6 taps and lots of packaged beers.

1110

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Forgot to post from stop 3, London Beer Lab. 20+ taps of their own beers across their two breweries. No photo sorry.

060

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Next stop is German Kraft in Elephant & Castle. I've had confirmation that brewing will cease here on the 19th July. Bar has a new site in Lewisham and they have identified a location for the brewing kit to be relocated to.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Hot bus ride to stop 2 and a second visit to Bouldr Bar. They now have an inside space but the Rock Leopard kit is not yet installed. Still a work in progress, but progress is definitely being made.

2101

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

No real plan today. Just as many odds and sods as I can manage before the heat kills me. First up is SALT (Woolwich). 14 taps and 1 handpump. Mixture of Ossett family breweries and guests.
