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…Budapest
Budapest was waaaay ahead of the game before most of continental Europe. 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. Since then, not much has changed, with a solid scene of stalwarts without too much recent innovation – probably because they […]
A Beer Tourist’s Guide To…Florence

A Beer Tourist’s Guide To…Ghent
Google “good beer in Ghent” and you’ll be sent down a rabbit hole of epic proportions, so much so that your paralysis of choice may render you incapable of even sipping a Belgian Blond let alone a 12% Tripel. We don’t claim to be the most in depth guide to the city – there are literally hundreds of quality drinking […]
A Beer Tourist’s Guide To…Leipzig
We published a long-read on Leipzig in Ferment Magazine back in September – here are the highlights: Dr Hops: Eight taps, 100 fridge beers and a focus on German craft – what more do you want? Dr. Hops sits at the southern end of the buzzing KarLi neighbourhood and represents the best of the city in every way. Aesthetically modern, […]

Czech beer is basically perfect. Their totally neutral water profile means they concoct Pilsners that are almost unrecognisable from the macro gunk we drink in the UK, with heavenly clouds of foam and aromas of central European forests that will haunt your dreams (important distinction from haunting your nightmares). These beers are to be found everywhere in Prague, so our […]
A Beer Tourist’s Guide To…Vienna
It’s like they forgot Germany and Czechia are either side of them. The indie beer scene in Vienna is, in a word, Scheiße. We dug around for the dregs in case you need a switch up from Schnitzel and Sachertorte, but there’s clearly a reason Marx and Freud used to hang out in cafes and not pubs. AmmutsØn Craft Beer […]
