  • Beer Log: a crawl of London's best Belgian beer bars | The Craft Beer Channel
    Jonny, the Brad and Mr Hyde's Andrew Dickens walk the five-mile route between London's two best Belgian bars, stopping off at 3 more bangers in between.
    It gets blurry, but somehow we hold it together as we take in Lowlander, The Dovetail, Craft Beer Co Old Street, The Dove and the Beer Merchants Tap.

    Belgian beer gave me a new found appreciation for what beer could be and taste like and thus, was my gateway into craft beer.

    • @TheCraftBeerChannel

      It is a great place to start - varied, often less bitter and usually very complex while still being drinkable.

    Lowlander's beer list is amazing. Ed the manager at Lowlander is amazing and very helpful. Worth a visit when your in theatre land

    I once had a winking face on my St Bernardus Abt. 12 but i didn't realise just how unique it was untill weeks after when I saw your battle of the 12s video!

    I am coming back to watch these older vids. I love you guys and how happy and appreciative you are of the beer and the scenes. Watching the new content for the past year or two I've noticed more cynicism and focus on an academic approach.

    • @TheCraftBeerChannel
      @TheCraftBeerChannel  Місяць тому

      A fair comment. I think we are a little wiser to the industry now, but still love it to bits. We definitely shoot a lot less "off the cuff" content, but hoping to get out into the world and have some fun again soon

    I love Belgian beer so much I moved to Belgium permanently. I'm the guy who sent you the photo of the manneken pis and the new Jupiler reduced calorie on FB. I live in Brussels so if you need something for a project just let me know. Oh, going to my favorite pub right now. See you.

      What's you favourite pub?

    • @EarMode
      @EarMode 6 років тому +1

      I will not say Delirium, I will not say Delirium, I will not say Delirium. Having not said Delirium my current pub de choix is called La Mascotte:
      Leuvensesteenweg 815
      1140 Evere
      Brussels
      However, my friends are opening a new pub Le Cafe Du Stade:
      G. De Lombaerdestraat 70
      1140 Evere
      Brussels
      and this will be my new pub. Opens on the 16th of June.
      If you don't already know, there is a pub almost on every street corner in Brussels. Every sports facility has a bar, every restaurant...I think there's one at the hospital too. So, I love this place.

    Gin and Beer in Deptford (neighbours to Villages, a personal favourite of mine) has an incredible Belgian beer list as well. Worth a check out!

    • @TheCraftBeerChannel
      @TheCraftBeerChannel  5 років тому

      Also a great bar! Woulda put it in if it was o the walking route!

  • @stevewheeler6120
    @stevewheeler6120 5 років тому +1

    Best Belgian Beer bar in London is Gin & Beer in Deptford! They actually serve the beer with a bit of love and knowledge and in the correct glassware. Surprise, surprise Beermerchants featured.

    • @TheCraftBeerChannel
      @TheCraftBeerChannel  5 років тому +1

      Hey. We declared all interest and yes Jonny helped found it and very proud of the place, the people and the fact they too use the right glassware. Gin & Beer is fantastic belgian beer bar though. A great bar in its own right too.

    never been a massive fan of belgian beer except from some sours and delirium tremens but its true your taste buds do change and become more cultured

    2021 and unfortunately 2 of the venues in the video have now closed down. Shame a big shame, the pandemic has claimed many great pubs and bars in London.
    Great to see BM Tap & Lowlander still open.
    Hopefully a new video with new locations once the pandemic is out the way.
    Many free house pubs & bottle-shops stock a great selection of Belgian beers in London.
    Cheers

    That meter of beer where Belgian beer did not have a collar is criminal. Hanging offense in Belgium. 😊

    If you love Belgian beer I's say go to Brugge! same selection as in brussels only a way nicer setting to enjoy them in (full disclosure I am biased as I am from Brugge)

    • @TheCraftBeerChannel
      @TheCraftBeerChannel  6 років тому +1

    As a guy who DESPISES Belgian beer, I still had to watch this video, of course, I doesn't hurt that I smell like boiled grains from making beer today. :+)
    You might find a good location for a pub crawl on this side of the pond, in Portland, Maine, they have a good selection of little pubs there. If you do visit us here in New England, give me a shout, I 'd love to show you 'round!

    • @TheCraftBeerChannel
      @TheCraftBeerChannel  6 років тому

      We have done many vids in New England! Not made it as far as portland but wish we had as you have Allagash, perhaps the greatest Belgian style brewery outside of Belgium you lucky people!

    The Dove Tail in Farringdon….?. You must be joking, right. The area is called Clerkenwell. Not sure how Londoners can get away with it…

    • @TheCraftBeerChannel
      @TheCraftBeerChannel  4 роки тому

      We have had Ommegang beers a few times but sadly didn't have time to head out of NYC while we were there. Maybe next time!

    @themonopolyking316 6 років тому

    Beer Merchants are featuring in your videos more and more these days, are you actively making an effect to do this? Do you worry people might think your opinion is slightly biased?

    • @TheCraftBeerChannel
      @TheCraftBeerChannel  6 років тому

      Every day! Beer Merchants sponsor us and we have made Beer Merchants Tap our base for vids not on location but hopefully we remain independent in our thought and editorial even if locations betray our ties.
      If you ever think we are being biased do call us out!

    • @themonopolyking316
      @themonopolyking316 6 років тому

      The Craft Beer Channel I suppose many might ponder the link between you naming the Beer Merchant Tap the best Belgium Beer bar in London and them being a sponsor of yours. But I won’t ( for now! 😜) Been watching your videos for a long time now and you seem genuinely passionate and dedicated about beer. I hope you keep up your work.

    • @TheCraftBeerChannel
      @TheCraftBeerChannel  6 років тому

      Haha well I would counter that there definitely is a link, because i helped choose the list and put about 300 amazing bottles in there!
      Thanks for sticking with us all the years - hope we never let you guys down by being biased.
