No more delays, time to get some more stamps in our Beer Visa!
A quick visit to BrewDog Soho, and then continue to the last bar new to us: BrewDog Seven Dials.
Then the last visit of the day for the badge; BrewDog Clerkenwell.
Very tasty—no sauce needed—and the free salted caramel ice cream was quite welcome on a hot day like this!
For our coffee, we prefer to visit specialists, so after lunch we went to TAP Coffee No. 193—or should I already say Department of Coffee and Social Affairs?—for our daily shot of foaming caffeine. Too bad they used disposable plastic cups for our iced coffee…
Another attraction of the bar is the full-size brewing installation, technically making this the only—at least for now—BrewDog brewpub. Since the beers brewed there are only available in that bar, we had to try some, even if it wasn’t even noon yet…
Since we didn’t want all of our trip to be about beer, we also visited the National Gallery. There were so many paintings there I had to learn about for an exam just a couple of weeks ago! For instance: these Bathers, the first by Paul Cézanne, the second by Georges Seurat.
After over seven hours in a bus—luckily well air-conditioned—and the obligatory double customs checks, we caffeinated ourselves at Iris & June: excellent espresso from the local roasters Ozone Coffee.
After that, it was just late enough to check into our home for the next couple of nights: easyHotel London Victoria. Excess luggage dropped off, and we’re now ready to take on the challenge, and go to our first BrewDog bar!
