  • The fact that this almost entirely neglects London makes it lack any credibility. Yes, there are loads of excellent craft beer venues outside of London, but there is nowhere else that has anywhere near the concentration or volume of very good craft beer venues. I'm saying this as someone that pretty regularly travels elsewhere with beer as a major motivation, and I don't think there's anywhere else where you'd be able to get the range that you can get within about a 20 minute cycle from my front door
