Kid friendly but no kids menu…read more My wife, daughter and I were walking the Camden Market and were looking for food. I had been drinking Camden Hells Lager since I've been in the UK, so when we saw the Camden Town Brewery, we decided to stop and get a bit to eat. It is in a great spot, right on the Camden Locks, in the heart of the Camden Market. It isn't much to look at once you walk in, pretty standard. Same goes for the cocktail offering. The cocktails on their cocktail menu mostly contained Beefeater Gin, but they were out of Beefeater Gin and said they couldn't substitute for one of the other Gins they had in the wall, which was quite a few, so that was disappointing. We were a little worried there wasn't a kids menu but we got the Cotswold fried chicken, without hot sauce and it was incredible. My wife and I shared the fish and chips and it was very good as well. We were a little underwhelmed when we walked in but were very satisfied and pleased with the food. We would comeback for the ambiance but definitely would for the food.

"Where there's life there's hope...and need of vittles." - The Lord of the Rings…read more Hells Lager, a cross between Helles and Pilsner with malt and hops and brewed in Camden - a smooth, clear beer from Camden Town Brewery. Frankly, I didn't know much about this brand until I sat down for lunch at an English pub in SOHO, London. I requested something on tap that was local and Anna (bartender) suggested I start with Camden Town Hells Lager. I smartly took her advice! Camden Town Brewery founded in 2010, isn't as ancient as other breweries in the UK, but what it lacks in centuries, it makes up with "Gimli" pedigree. The founder Jasper Cuppaidge is the grandson of Laurie McLaughlin, who ran McLaughlin's Brewery in Rockhampton, Australia from 1910-1960, along with an estate of 60 pubs. Story goes when Jasper was in his 20's, this in the 1990's, he missed his flight back from London to Australia. Long story short, he ended up staying in London, started from scratch, and ended up brewing his own beer. It was a hit and became the foundation of Camden Town Brewery! So Anna suggested the Camden Town Hells Lager (4.6%) to go with my English pub lunch, and from first sip to last drop, it was smooth as "Arwen's" lips! I can see why It won numerous awards, such as Champion Keg Lager at the International Brewing Awards and bronze at the European Beer Star. This is the real deal lads! I have yet to try the other brews that the Brewery pours, like the Gentleman's Wit, IHL Lager, Pale Ale, or a seasonal brew. In the end, I had a lovely lunch in London, and Camden Town Brewery made it that much lovelier! Go with the Hells Lager and I promise you a magical "Gandalf" experience! Gurth 'ni yrch! Three Cheers to Jasper! Ta!

Apart from feeling a bit iffy about a guided tour (not my kind if thing) - free beers were on offer so how could I refuse !! Fullers are one of the most successful breweries in London and offer guided tours around their brewery to show you how they produce there beers and offers an insight into the history of this old site and brew house. Obviously the climax of the tour is visiting the bar in the cellar and getting stuck into the IPA and other Fullers favourites. Tours are Monday to Friday throughout the day and are in groups of at least four but up to 15. An interesting and educational visit that was very informative and I enjoyed it very much. The tasting was obviously the icing on the cake and you can also get a lunch in the Fullers pub next door.

Just a few minutes walk from the castle, you'd be silly to miss out in stopping here. Of course - the beer is excellent. They've usually got 8-12 things on tap, with 4 cask ales among them. You'll have their version of a "best bitter" along with some creative things like a smoked ale and a white stout. I had a white ale with notes of fresh orange that I liked a lot! Delicious beer aside, I don't think you'll find a friendlier place! We were greeted like old friends by Wildcat Willie and the other patrons. To make things even better prices are incredibly reasonable! They even make their own gin so non beer drinkers should be well cared for too. This was definitely the highlight of our day in Windsor, and honestly one of the highlights of our vacation. Don't miss a chance to stop by, experience true hospitality and sample her Maj's beer!

Everyone is given a Five Points chalice to take home and the opportunity to purchase more beer onsite. When I took the tour in May 2016, a row of banquet tables were set up in the heart of the brewery. In total, we were a group of 23 enthusiastic guests- only four of us had never been on a brewery tour before- and the majority were familiar with the Five Points' range. As we considered each beer in turn, we were provided with approximately half a glass each to swill. Questions were encouraged throughout the two hour tour and company representatives demonstrated exhaustive background knowledge of the company and beer in general. We were whisked around the brewery floor, invited to climb ladders and peer inside a kettle, then to stick our heads inside the mash tun. We became acquainted with the bottling line, a hand-me-down from Beavertown Brewery, which could fill up to 2,200 bottles per hour. The canning line can manage up to 3,600 cans per hour and we received an animated demonstration of how the cans slingshot through the machine. The brewery tour was an edifying insight into how another independent London brewery quickly outgrew its confines and made its mark as an institution proffering a seminal range of beers.

The place is in a bit of a random spot, I wasn't too keen on our walk there but we made it. We ordered a pint as we were early, their speciality Cake boy, a hazelnut beer I wasn't too keen on it and wished I haven't ordered a whole pint. Plus it was expensive £13 for two pints! It should be cheaper directly from the brewery. Also i definitely wouldn't have ordered a whole pint if I had known I was going to have to chug the thing as we weren't allowed to take drinks on the tour with us! This is very different from US brewery tours and they usually welcome drinking on the tours. However I understand why, as the tour starts out in their private tap room, where you drink and taste all their different beers on tap. I think we tried around 5-6 beers, we even got to still taste their stout even though they had ran out of it on draft. They actually opened bottles of it, to pour for us -- I was impressed and their stout was nice, it's different from others stouts as I'm not a stout drinker. The pours were a third of a pint each too. The tour in whole was 2 hours but didn't actually last that long. The tasting lasted around an hour -- this is something I haven't experienced at US breweries, where the staff go into soo much detail about each beer and taste them with you. Usually a brewery tour is only 20-30 minutes touring the facility. This tour was more like bourbon tours I have been on. The actual tap room we were in was full of Michael Jackson's (the beer critic) glass collection -- cool or what? After the tasting we finally toured the facility, which lasted around 20 minutes or so. The tasting was better than the tour, I could have skipped the tour, their was nothing special. As traditional with British health and safety laws, we were required to wear safety goggles on the tour, even though it was the evening and nothing was happening. One thing that did disappoint me, was you weren't able to keep a tasting glass after the tour, you had to buy one from the gift shop. Also as I'm not up to date on British craft beer, I was surprised to learn that Meantime sold out to SAB Miller a few years ago and then was later sold to a Japanese company. However though we enjoyed the tour overall (I think it was all the beer -- lol). We stayed after the tour finished, had another pint and actually ended up chatting to our tour guide for the evening. We had a great time.
