Following the success of August's rail trip to Istanbul through @TailorMadeRail we've just booked next August's holiday with them. London to the Baltic States. Booking before December means that all journeys, where applicable, have been upgraded to 1st Class at no extra charge!

12th and final stop for today is the Holy Tavern. Still with a good range of St Peter's beers but now with guests.

First time using the Lizzy Line to get to Reading. Not cheap, but avoided the bustitution on the normal route.
First stop here is the ever excellent @TheFoxBeerhouse. 6 cask in perfect condition and 13 taps.

Final stop of the trip, Cantillon. Treated myself to this.

Eurostar home this evening. Headed back via Oostende. Obviously. It's bracing!

Another 20 minute walk to my last stop of the day, Parazzar. 5 on tap plus c100 packaged. Popular bar just to the west of the centre.

You can't not visit 't Brugs Beertje!

A 20 minute walk back towards town and I'm at stop 3, Gauthierz Brasserie. 5 on tap plus c40 packaged beers. Easy to miss as you walk down the street, because I did!

A ten minute walk to stop 2, De HOPtimist. Fantastic bar with 6 on tap and an extensive packaged list. Worth heading out of the centre for.
September 12, 2025 at 2:16 PM
And I've just discovered that my planned stop 2 is closed for Annual Leave. 🤬

Starting my time here by ticking off some gaps in my Beer Guide Bruges list.
A 20 minute walk from the station to stop 1, Taffel en Toog. Modern bar to the south west of the city. 10 on tap and around 100 packaged.
September 12, 2025 at 12:17 PM
Right, I wonder if there are any decent bars around here...
September 12, 2025 at 11:31 AM
Just pulling out of St Pancras bound for Belgium. A fairly last minute decision to head to Bruges Beer Festival.
What could possibly...
