I saw it was cask ale week last week and some craft beer folk online seemed a bit more interested in it than usual I think. I’m expecting a switch in a few years where all the craft places that have been making strong, massively hoppy American style IPAs that have been at the front over the last few years and the bloggers and vloggers who have been chasing these beers will start some push to bring back the ‘traditional British way of beer’. Sambrooks have started brewing in the rams quarter in Wandsworth recently which has a long history of brewing and they’ve just opened up a heritage centre there so maybe it’s slowly on it’s way.
I was back up north last weekend and found it quite pleasant going to pubs with half a dozen decent bitters on and a minimal amount of modern keg beers. Being back in London where most pubs just have a variety of over-priced, over-strengthed and over-hopped IPAs was quite disappointing.
