Clearing Out The Cellar

Filed Under: Beer, Belgium, Europe, Food & Drink, Pictures by Scott — Leave a comment

28 May 2016

A couple of years ago I managed to get my hands on some Westvleteren 12, often regarded as one of the best beers in the world. The beer itself is from 2011, so my remaining bottles have been aging nicely in the cellar. In the meantime, I’ve been collecting those beers considered most similar to the excellent Westy, along with newer beers inspired by the original.

The beers are all between 1-5 years old by this point, so methinks a tasting is due!

If you’re looking for craft beer in Central London, particularly near Fleet Street, I can highly recommend Harrild & Sons. They have an excellent draft, cask & bottle menu!

I’m a sucker for a good shakshuka, and the food at Timna is delicious. Plus, it makes a nice change from the usual Cafe Mogador brunch, located just a few doors up.
