Shawn. I can confirm our London location is closed. We are still negotiating on the new, so watch this space (Facebook).

Word is that the kit and brand have both been bought by someone in Manchester, and that Bryan Spooner is moving there with it.
Thought this might be worth bumping.

Currently standing on 262 rates and 57 breweries.
Unfortunately Lidl remain top of the pile with 33 rates but at least in the last year I have more than doubled my Kernel rates from 10 to 23. Their bottled beers remain amazingly good value. I picked up several from HOTM for £3 each including some 500ml ones.
Best beer I had from Greater London in the last 12 months was this one https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/anspach-hobday-the-crowdfunder-stout/930797/708854/
My London rates are up 8 to 199 over the last year.
Breweries are up 2 to 45, the new ones being Husk & Hammerton.
My top ones are still Zerodegrees and M&S, which is rather ironic given that all my Zerodegrees rates were brewed in Reading, whilst most of the M&S ones were also brewed outside London.
Doubt these totals will grow much over the next year - not too bothered about London rates as they’re already darkest blue; will be aiming to boost the numbers in my least- rated counties.

815 beers from 137 breweries. Although, Workshy are moving to Surrey (Staines), if they haven’t already and questionable as to whether German Kraft Dalston should be listed as a separate brewpub.
I put together a Top 10 comparison.
Two breweries have dropped out: London Beer Factory and Brewdog Outpost Tower Hill.
Replaced by: Anspach & Hobday, and Park.

I’m glad this came to the top as I had been wondering about the Zerodegrees thing lately!
