Next week sees the return of London Beer Week, and we’re so thrilled we’ve pulled out our pewter tankards to enjoy the occasion in style!
From 22-28 February there’s a whole week of fun brewing around the capital with some great drinks offers. With your £10 wristband, you’ll be given access to the self-guided beer tours, and can take advantage of £3 speciality beers and £5 boilermakers (basically a beer and a shot). Those are Northern prices but in more than 100 of the best beer bars and breweries Darn Sarf instead.
Grab wristbands from the Sharp’s Brewery London Beer Week Hub. Get your free beer flight and make sure you check out the pop-ups around the Old Truman Brewery. That’ll give you a good idea of where to go and what to see (and drink) on your travels.
But the next step, of course, is to taste the range of beers on offer. If you’re not a beer connoisseur but want to learn – or if you are a connoisseur but are looking for some new ideas – try these delicious beers during London Beer Week. All cost just £3 with your wristband.
