💙 Adventures in.....London Brewers Market 💙

📍• Greenwich Market What better way to celebrate Friyay than with a beer market! Especially when that market is in stumbling distance of my own front door 🙈🍻 Yesterday I trundled down to Greenwich Market, a place I have spent the last 10 years heading to when family are down or if I'm feeling particularly flush and fancy some street food. The market is an incredible place, with an old time atmosphere but full of beautiful trinkets and yummy chow. The market itself has been in the general vicinity since the 14th century with this particular incarnation having been in place, and running weekly markets, since 1700. If you are in the area it's a must visit and I can absolutely recommend popping into the surrounding pubs such as The Greenwich Union, The Gypsy Moth (which is usually rammed), the Admiral Hardy or the Trafalgar, for a lunch or evening pint! 

The brewers market has been set up by @fivepointsbrew, who have run a number of awesome events this summer, in conjunction with Greenwich Market’s Carnival inspired Street Food Festival. Hosting Hackney Brewery, @signaturebrew-blog, Anspach and Hobday and Bianca Road Brew Co, the market was alive with steel pans and good brews. 

I of course worked my way along the row of beer offerings, starting off with the amazing Sour Dry Hop and Summer Blonde from Anspach and Hobday. The Sour Dry Hop was bloody delicious, with a solid zesty taste that was not over powering; a brilliant starter to sup in the fading sunshine. I also tried the Summer Blonde which, with a slightly lower ABV was smooth, fruity and refreshing! 

I then moved onto the Signature White Keys, a white peach and raspberry Hefeweizen. I expected a massive tangy fruit hit given the title but was presently surprised by it's smooth taste with more of a hint of fruit than a full on salad 🍑. I also tasted the unfiltered Studio Vienna, which has to be up there with the best Vienna style lagers I've tasted. Fresh to death but well rounded and not overly fizzy, this went exceptionally well with the amazing @littleleaf Vegan Pizza, which I cannot recommend enough! 

I finished my evening with the @fivepointsbrew XPA, a light and tropical extra pale with a hoppy hit. Adapted from the colab with Field Day Festival, this delight was added to their core range...and thank the beer gods it was 👏🏼. The perfect end to an evening which felt almost like a festival, the market had a great vibe and offered the perfect selection of beers from a range of great local breweries. Another great event from Five Points and a great prep for Carnival this weekend. Rating: 💙💙💙💙💙 for a brilliant event!
