In the Bermondsey district of London (on the South Bank of the Thames, east of Tower Bridge) is a set of elevated railroad tracks that was built quite a long time ago. As such, from the ground level it is a seemingly unending stretch of brick arches. These arches are rented out to business, typically things like auto mechanics, machine shops, wholesalers of various sorts, etc. They are now home to three small breweries and they all have open houses on Saturday where you can buy their beer directly, either to drink there or to take home with you.
The first one we visited is the oldest and largest of the three, the
Kernel Brewery

We headed over to the second brewery, Partizan and stopped for some fish and chips. This building has been selling fish since the 1870's, first as fishmonger than as a fish shop. Fish was great, fries were good.

The third brewery, Brew by Numbers (or BBNo as they style it) is the newest and has just been open a couple of months.

We headed back to Central London and stopped at the Holborn Whippet, a new pub that is connected with the Euston Tap. They use the same dispensing system for their cask beers.
