Final stop of the day is @TheSussexArms. A Big Smoke pub with 22 handpumps and 20 taps.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 18h

We can complain but the fact remains that it was the busiest bar of the day so far.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 18h

Sadly, it is the way things are going.

A walk back in to Twickenham and stop 6, @Brewery_Market. Great bottle shop in the middle of the pedestrianised area with a dozen taps and plenty of packaged beers.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 18h

Another bus ride to stop 5, @jawbonebrewing. Taproom on a small, riverside, industrial estate 10 minutes from the centre of Twickenham. Up to 7 of their own beers on tap.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 19h

That's Richmond...

A twenty minute walk to stop 4, @tap_tavern, the best option in the town centre. 16 taps plus 3 handpumps. Tucked away just off the main High Street.

And doesn't help the stress levels!

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 19h

Another short bus ride to stop 3, @themitreTW9. Back street pub that always has a good selection of beers, and the cask is always in fantastic condition.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 20h

Many years ago I visited a friend for a birding trip in Seattle. He took us to a game. The rest is history...

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 20h

A short bus ride, after a long wait, to stop 2, @MicroBeers. Cosy little bottle shop with 7 beers on tap and a large packaged selection.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 22h

Thanks to the Mariners not finishing their playoff game until 06:00 a very late start today!
Staying localish with stop 1 being @GhostWhaleLDN in Putney. Usual superb selection across 8 taps and multiple fridges.

One additional stop on the way home, @apintofhops in Acton. They've rearranged the interior and it's much more user friendly. 6 taps plus 4 double fridges.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 7d

Stop 6, and last of the random visits, is the Pocket. The relatively new sister pub of the Southampton Arms. 8 cask ales and 10 taps.

Quiet at the back!

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 7d

Stop 5 is @PressureDropBrw. 10 taps of their own beers available.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 7d

Ask person behind bar for number between 1 & 296. Then find corresponding row in spreadsheet.

I worried that most of today would be spent travelling. Owner of Stone Mini Market randomly chose Calamity Tank as stop 4. It's less than 5 minutes walk!
Libertalia's new Taproom in the former Mammoth space. 12 taps, their own plus other London breweries.

DM with details if you fancy company

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 7d

All good but favourites are A&H, Cloudwater, It Ain't Much and Kernel. You planning a visit, if so when?

Jack had the honour of picking stop 3 and he's sent me east to Stone Mini Market. Barely recognisable since my first visit, the deli with some beers is now a serious bottle shop with 4 available on tap. A coffee counter has been added since my last visit.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 8d

Barman at stop 1 played a blinder sending me to the excellent Sutton Arms as stop 2.
The usual superb range across 4 handpumps and 16 taps.

Stop 1, thanks to Mrs MA, is Real Drinks in Maida Vale. Cosy bottle shop and bar not far from Paddington. 6 taps and c300 packaged beers.

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · 8d

Good morning London!

The hiatus is over and it's time to start the third round of visits.

Different approach for day 1, Mrs MA has randomly chosen stop 1 and subsequent stops will be randomly chosen by whoever serves me.

What could possibly...

Beer Guide London @beerguidelondon.bsky.social · Aug 16

Really, really sad to hear this. Thanks for the heads up.
