Well, that was long enough in Scotland without a proper drink, so as soon as it opened, I went to BrewDog Edinburgh, the bar where I drank my first BrewDog beer ever, and a place I will probably visit a few more times during my stay… Sticking with lighter beers for now (ABV under 7%), but I’ve seen a couple of stronger beers I will certainly try later!
Near Victoria Coach Station there aren’t many nice places to eat or drink, but the previous times I was here, I hadn’t much choice due to the limited time I had. Since I arrived a bit early, I had enough time to venture a bit deeper into Pimlico, to a nice Turkish restaurant I found on Foursquare in preparation for this trip: Cyprus Mangal. Their karişik kebab dish was just what I needed.
Then I noticed a craft beer pub nearby — CASK Pub and Kitchen — and since I still had time for a couple of pints…
I almost forgot they have a Hop Cannon at BrewDog Glasgow now as well. It’s not just for hops though, although not everything turns out well: at some point they tried to make a bacon infused beer, but that turned into quite a sticky mess…
The result of today’s experiment was a beer with a stronger coffee taste than some coffees I’ve had!
At BrewDog Glasgow again. I love BrewDog. Can you tell? 🙂
You might be wondering why I’ve become so silent all of a sudden: after a coffee break at Artisan Roast, I headed over to one of my favourite places in Glasgow, BrewDog Glasgow.
I had to catch up on some BrewDog beers that haven’t reached Belgium yet, and now I’ve moved on to the Gigantic guest beers.
Life is good… 🙂
