A work project took me to the UK for the greater part of 2022. While I needed to be in the UK, I didn’t have to be anywhere in particular for most of that time so I spent some time visiting places I hadn’t been to before. Mostly places with distilleries, breweries, and the like.
Over the course of nine months or so, I visited:
Kanpai Sake Brewery, London
Bimber Distillery, London
East London Liquor Company, London
Dojima Sake Brewery, Ely
Copper Rivet Distillery, Chatham
The Foundry, Canterbury
