4.0 out of 5 stars A Stylish Guide from CAMRA 23 July 2011
By D Furnell
Format:Paperback
Overall, this book is something of a hybrid between a Time Out guide and the more traditional CAMRA publications - and it seems to have hit something of a gap in the market.

There are many aspects of this London guide are pleasing: it's in colour throughout and is laid out in a pleasing contemporary design with plenty of photographs of the pubs and bars. The descriptions are informative and there are some very helpful maps of small sections of London. The book itself is small enough to carry around on a pub crawl without weighing one down too much.

As well as traditional alehouses beloved by the beer bellied CAMRA brigade, gastropubs and trendy bars are given extensive coverage. Some of the bars don't even serve real ale -- specialising in bottled beer and imports. The breweries section has representatives from Belgium, the US and even Australia. In many other ways London is not really representative of the rest of the country, being probably the most international city in the world. So a London guide shouldn't be parochial - it makes sense to reflect the amazingly cosmopolitan variety of beer styles available in the City.

5.0 out of 5 stars Effort yields results 7 Dec 2011
By Andy Reynolds
Format:Paperback
You can tell that the author has worked hard on this guide. It is meticulously researched, generously fact-packed and helpfully presented. I bought the book to operate as a guide to good London pubs, and it performs that function wonderfully, but I also learnt a lot more.

After beginning with a few informative pages on the history of London pubs, the book cracks on with its principle task of being a pub guide. The pubs are presented geographically, with user-friendly touches like colour coding, which is always welcome.

In his recommendations, the guide ranges unfettered across the spectrum, including some pubs and beer styles that might displease a few of the Camra old guard. So, as well as the expected cask inclusions (eg Harveys in the Royal Oak, etc), we are also told about good kegged German, US and Belgian beer, and where to drink it.

At the back of the book you can read, or re-read, about how beer is made, the ingredients, the different styles, tasting tips. Finally, he talks us through the breweries: all the current London breweries and some of those a London drinker might encounter, and not just the British ones.

This is a modern guide, and that is one of its strengths. It's an exciting time to be drinking beer in London, with the recent proliferation of breweries in the city and their enthusiasm for brewing new as well as traditional styles. The author has embraced this resurgence, and he's helping me embrace it too.

In this vibrant beer age, the guide will need updating. In the time between reprints, the author notes changes on the website of his own name.
