Craft Beer


Had a couple in trading post in Manchester. Nice lager, black one was decent. Chicken was good especially when half price. Can’t grumble for 5.5 a pint either

Looking forward to going back. Thoroughly enjoyed it

Reet. As far as beer goes, I think I’ve jumped the shark. This is f***ing crackers

De Molen are closing down. Final day at the end of August. Another good brewery killed by a macro brewery.

Struise are closing as well. Real shame for Dutch brewing.

Looks like I’m more or less off the drink for 3/4 weeks, bar maybe one or two at midweek gigs, until I go to Madrid at the end of Feb.

With that in mind, anybody been to Madrid & got any recommendations? There’s about 50 of us, so doubtful we’ll all stop together. Gives one or two of us the chance to jump in an uber somewhere if there’s a bar/taproom/brewery worth stopping off at.

Canny few little craft places around Malasaña. There's only one craft brewery in the city though and it's tiny - Fabrica Maravillas. You'll do well to get 10 of you in there like never mind 50. Topper city for bar hopping though.

It’ll be a select few (who I invite) will be part of a good beer hunt like. So I’ll limit it.

If you get the chance to list any names it’d be appreciated, but I’m guessing it’s not easy to remember them.

I'll try dig them out tomorrow.
I’ve never felt really sad about a brewery closing down before but this would be horrendous.
Update on them here. They're still alive but on their arse, basically.
