What's Going on in the World of Craft Beer?

FRESH BEER Catch up on the latest UK Craft Beer releases. BREWERS CORNER What’s going on in the world of Craft Beer? TAPROOM REVIEW We visit The Kernel taproom in Bermondsey. TWICB PODCAST Rob is joined by Arron from Polly’s Brew Co. ISSUE68 SIXTY EIGHT JUNE 14th 2021 ISSUE 68 - 14 JUNE 2021 Things are definitely looking up now that taprooms and pubs are open again. In addition there are plenty of Craft Beer Fes- tivals on the horizon. TWICB are looking forward to Hop City next month and keen to network with brewers and drinkers alike over two fabulous days of great beer tasting. It’s been a long time since our last Festival, Friends & Family & Beer in Man- chester early last year when we launched Issue 1. Though things in the UK are improving, the shock announcements about travel last week are a reminder that nothing in this Covid world of ours is certain. We are disappointed that the start our Grand Beer Tours is de- layed until later this year. However, once our destinations are officially on the ‘green list’ and set to stay there, we’re going full speed ahead. Don’t forget to keep checking the promotional pages in our Newsletters for details, and hopefully we’ll see you on one of our awesome trips.
