Camden and Richmond

Thursday 14th February

I had originally intended to just go out to the Weekly Wind Up venue tonight but it turned out a bit different to that.
As I left Kentish Town West station I noticed an A board advertising the Camden Brewery. Curiosity got the better of me so I walked up the side street and this is what I found.

There is now a bar as part of the brewery so I thought I would see what was on offer.

 Three halves were drunk here:

No handpumps here!

Detailed info about the beers

Then on to the Weekly Wind Up which was at the Tapping the Admiral pub.

I thought I had blogged about this pub on my previous visit but no so the photos below were taken on  26th April 2012.
A pint of each of Timothy Taylor Dark Mild and Elgoods Black Dog Mild were consumed here.

As I was drinking my 2nd pint, I got a text from a friend saying he and 7 other Wind Up members were in the Southampton Arms at the next down the line at Gospel Oak. A couple of interesting beers were mentioned, so I decided to stop there on my way home.

When I got there, they were still available and a pint ordered (in a straight glass).

The beer wot I had

The pub also does some nice simple advertising outside:

And so back home. You may remember one of my early posts about old BR posters at Richmond station. If not see here

Well they have made a proper feature of them and updated photos are shown below.
