Had to leave Razzle behind - in fact he loves his kennels at Home from Home in Heddon - when we went to New Zealand for nearly a month in November-December 2010. Beforehand, I was told their microbreweries were fantastic, and found out that was absolutely right. Here's my drinking diary of the trip.
Friday 5th November, London
Have to start somewhere, and as I've a conference in London tomorrow and we're not flying until Sunday evening, my first beer of the trip will be a local London brew. A pint of Fuller's ESB, enjoyed in the pub opposite the British Library. Score: Trip days 1 Beers drunk 1

Saturday 6th November, London
After the excellent Ecclesiology and Empire symposium (a word wh
ich apparently also means a drinking party) organised by the Victorian Society, it was 
off to St Pancras and the Betjeman Arms for a pint of Adnams Bitter (the first beer I ever tasted) and a swift half of Sharp's Betjeman Bitter. The latter was a fine drink, and it seems is actually their Cornish Coaster in London disguise. Score: Trip days 2 Beers drunk 3

Evening at Heathrow, and time for a pint of - what else - but Fuller's London Pride before taking off for Hong Kong. Score: Trip days 3 Beers drunk 4
