Just buy a few bottles of St Bernardus Abt 12. Essentially the same recipe and a slightly better beer imo, for a fraction of the price. It's sold in some Tesco which is mad.

I've still got a couple of bottles of Westvleteren in the cupboard actually from visiting the brewery taproom/pensioner cafe place a few years ago. One day I'll get around to opening them. I've also had an Orval in there since we were in the early days of League 1 that I promised I'd drink once we got back to the PL. Feel like you just keep these beers forever instead of just getting them necked!

Went to some lovely breweries and taprooms when in New York last week

Talea was a particular highlight
Bronx brewery
Evil twin - had a lot of experimental beers available
Randolph - good range and could pour your own for them all
Test brewery in Williamsburg
Keg and Lantern - more of a sports bar but still had 20/30 own stuff on taps
Other half brewery
Brooklyn brewery - went to the taproom and had some good stuff rather then just the lager and pilsner

Didn’t have a bad beer all trip and not too badly priced

Just been watching a couple of craft beer channel episodes on New York and was reminded of this post. Looks an absolutely superb destination for a craft beer adventure.

I can't remember in the city bars, but I went to a bar in Hudson Valley and there wasn't a drink on draft under 7%. It's a shame beer in NYC was so expensive.
 
Got Copenhagen later in the year. Looks tremendous these days for craft. Staying right in the heart of it too. Lucky the missus likes the scene :lol:

Certainly speaks highly of the place. A lot of pubs we probably take for granted. Great video

Agreed. However, bit of a cliff edge from about pub 6 iirc (certainly in terms of good craft beers - not to be snobby, just we are on a craft beer thread). Plus, as someone else said, he seems to love everywhere :lol:

No, I absolutely agree with you. Although if I had had 6-7 real ales. Id probably end up in some of dives he was in as well 😂

He was speaking highly of the Blandford and the Beehive so I'm not sure he's the best judge of quality. :lol: He basically says everywhere is good, it's a bit of an odd channel.

It's class like. Hire bikes and get about, really is the best way to travel in Copenhagen. Mikkeller Baghaven is a must if the weather is nice - superb.

mind I dragged the mrs into Josephs one night cos I'd been reading Bill Bryson's book where he likes to go in dives and classes it as an "urban extreme sport". I havent been back :cool:

Perhaps if he says everywhere is good he increases sponsorship opportunities. And doesn't risk getting filled in.

Not been for many a year so really looking forward to it. Yep that's on the list.

Dive bombing can be good abroad as its all a bit different. Avoid the known ones here though.

Red Hand is probably all you need. 40ft brewery around the corner too is nice in the sun. I lived around the corner for 7 years (ish) so know the place very well.

What venue are you going to?

In the Red Hand now, very nice it is too.
I've just sent my mate who is famously tight a photo of the beer board. A pint of Impie at £13.50 , I've messaged his wife to get the smelling salts out!
