Starnberger Hell
Starnberger Hell is one of those lagers that’s suddenly everywhere – and then nowhere.You spot it once on a bar in London, tell yourself you’ll come back for it, and two weeks later it’s been replaced by something you didn’t ask for. That’s the problem with a beer like this. It’s not Guinness. It’s not…

Murphy’s Stout
Guinness may be the headline act, but Murphy’s is the stout that quietly wins people over. It’s one of Ireland’s great pints – Cork-born, properly smooth, and criminally underrated in UK pubs considering how many stout drinkers claim they want something “a bit different”. Murphy’s sits in that perfect stout lane: dark, creamy, and easy…

Hackney to N1 Pub Crawl: Four Stops from Mare Street to De Beauvoir
This is a crawl for people who want variety without trekking across London like it’s the Pennines. Starting on Mare Street in Hackney and drifting west into N1, you’ll hit four pubs with completely different energy – each one worth the walk, and close enough together that the crawl feels like a proper journey rather…

Guinness
Guinness isn’t just a beer – it’s a standard. It’s the one pint people don’t just drink… they judge. Creaminess. Head height. Head retention. Temperature. Even the glass. That’s exactly why Where’s My Booze is so good for Guinness drinkers. With WMB, you can rate the pour of every beer at every pub you visit…

Beamish
If Guinness is the global default, Beamish is the stout people talk about after they’ve graduated from the obvious order. It’s a proper Cork stout, loaded with Irish brewing heritage and a reputation that’s grown louder in recent years – partly because it’s excellent, and partly because it’s so hard to get your hands on…

The Baring
Tucked just off the Regent’s Canal, The Baring is the sort of pub that makes you forget you were “just popping in for one”. It’s got that rare balance: gastropub polish without the stiffness, and a laid-back local feel that still works for a date, a catch-up, or a solo pint. Inside, the place is…

Allsopp’s Pilsner
Long before lager became the default order in British pubs, Allsopp’s Pilsner was already part of the story. The Allsopp name carries serious weight in UK brewing history, tied to Burton-on-Trent and the early adoption of continental lager styles at a time when most British drinkers were firmly wedded to ale. Allsopp’s Pilsner today trades…

Plaquemine Lock
Tucked along the canal on Graham Street, Plaquemine Lock is the kind of pub that feels discovered rather than stumbled upon. With its Louisiana roots and laid-back energy, it draws in locals who know exactly why they’re there – and newcomers who quickly work it out. By day, it’s an easy stop for a pint…

Madri Excepcional
You don’t need to look very hard to find Madri Excepcional on tap. In a relatively short space of time, it has gone from curiosity to fixture, muscling its way onto bar tops across the country and becoming a familiar sight in both locals and high-footfall pubs. Styled as a modern Spanish lager, Madri leans…
