We are only about a month or so away from London beer week, so here is a guide of the classic and fascinating new beers you can expect to try during the event.<\/p>\n
In 2006 there were only two breweries in the capital. However they have cropped up all over the city recently, in areas such as: Hackney and Bermondsey. The resurgence of local London breweries has meant that there are now above 70. This is due to more crafters than ever attempting to do ground breaking things with beer in their microbreweries and pubs. There is also no doubt that the beer being produced is helping to restore a our reputation for making good quality \u2018king lear\u2019 (beer).<\/p>\n
So here we go, sit back and swig on some of these hoppy heroes:<\/p>\n
Dandy Stout<\/b> (9%) <\/b><\/b>This beer from Earth Ale is absolutely smashing and not just because the strength of the beer will get you a bit \u2018diddley\u2019. There\u2019s so much more to it. Its produced using foraged ingredients, in this beer\u2019s case its: wild dandelion flowers and root. But we aren\u2019t even onto the taste yet, which at first offers an initial blast of fresh coffee that soon develops into a beautiful woody aftertaste after you have experienced the earthiness of the dandelions. You could imagine drinking this after a roast dinner whilst tucking into a good old-fashioned spotted dick.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udf3e\ud83c\udf3f\ud83c\udf40Settle down with a #dandy<\/a> #stout<\/a> for #StPatricksday<\/a> \ud83c\udf40\ud83c\udf3f\ud83c\udf3e Have Fun!\ud83c\udf89 pic.twitter.com\/9K73nrQnx8<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Earth Ale Brewery (@earthalebrewery) March 17, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
