A Beer Tourist’s Guide To…Amsterdam
The weird thing about Amsterdam and craft beer is that four of the top craft beer bars are owned by the same guy, and if you go to all of them in one night you get a free T-shirt.
A Beer Tourist’s Guide To…Athens
The ancient Greeks drank beer to increase their strength for all that Minotaur fighting they had to do. Respect.
A Beer Tourist’s Guide to…Brno, Czechia
Situated conveniently on the train line between Prague and other common interrail destinations of Bratislava, Vienna and Budapest, Brno unfairly receives short shrift. This is Moravia in pure time capsule form, with charming 19th century buildings, the echoes of Communism (including a well-integrated Vietnamese community giving the local cuisine a welcome uplift) and pubs, pubs, pubs.

We first visited in 2008 and they already had epic bars, and by the mid-2010s it was considered an early craft-beer paradise among the central European traditionalists.

We don’t claim to be the most in depth guide to the city – there are literally hundreds of quality drinking […]

Dr. Hops sits at the southern end of the buzzing KarLi neighbourhood and represents the best of the city in every way. Aesthetically modern, […]
A Beer Tourist’s Guide to…Madrid
They say Spanish beer is a great hangover cure for too much Sangria. Madrid has never been known as a beer capital, but the scene for indie beer here is as underrated as the city itself. Incredibly affordable by global craft beer standards, here are the top stops to hydrate yourself during the summer heat, all dotted around various neighbourhoods […]
