The Carlsberg Challenge

I was standing at the London underground tube station one day, when I saw probably the most honest billboard advertisment in the world. It was the new advertiment from Carlsberg. They admitted that their beer is probably not the best in the world, they focused on quantity rather than quality.

I took a picture of this billboard then tweeted:



To my surprise Carlsberg offered to send us 6 snap pack of their new brew Carlsberg Pilsner for us to try, which we gratefully recieved. We have never been so excited to try a Carlsberg before.

We at Bar Hop Cousins thought we would share the experience by creating a few YouTube videos:

Fathers Day Bar Hopping in Wapping London

Image
Follow @barhopcousins Father's Day or Bar Hopping Day as I like to call it...as this is the day I go on a little pub tour with my Dad. I've been taking my Dad on a pub crawl on Father's Day for as long as I can remember. We've been on some interesting sessions. One year I took him for a Gentlemen's Afternoon Tea in The Library in County Hall, we had a seat over looking the Thames with a good view of Big Ben. The best thing about this one, is that the beer was bottomless. Two hours of a steady stream of beers. Last year I took him on a mini pub crawl which started off with a Sunday Roast and a selection of free beers at The Brewhouse and ended with us going for Afternoon Tea at The Tale Bar , which is the famous Playboy bunny club in London. This wasn't as seedy as it might sound. Honest! This year's Father's Day was a bit more sensible...there were no Playboy bunnies or Afternoon Teas but there was a lot of history and characters.

Beer, Batman and Boxing

The bar hop cousins have a funny family tree, we are spread out the length and breadth of the land.  We cover all parts of the UK as well as Eastern Europe, probably further afield too.  For today’s blog I want to concentrate on a crawl we did in Northern Ireland.  Now the history of Northern Ireland is complex, far too complex for an idiot like me to try to summarize, I will leave that to far better educated folk than myself.  I want trivia not a history lesson! – So, as an example, The anchor for the SS Great Britain is on display along the sea wall.  And one of Bristol’s crown jewels is…. The rest of the SS great Britain!  See how is that for trivia? So before I start I want to give you an idea of the crawl we had in a place called Newcastle.  “But why on earth are you going on about Northern Ireland? If you now go on about Newcastle!?” I hear you ask.  Well this Newcastle is in County Down, situated about an hour south of Belfast.  This place is like an equivalent of sa

The Historical London Pub Crawl

Follow @barhopcousins Looking at the timeline, this pub crawl seems to have happened a couple of years after the famous ones in  Bristol  and  Ireland . Not sure why it took so long to have one in London, maybe we had other commitments or perhaps just recovering from Bristol and Ireland. However, I do remember what my cousin said to me when I invited him to London for a pub crawl …"Make sure there's plenty of trivia!". Damn, I didn't think of that! So I Googled "London Pub crawl" and discovered the Charles Dickens one. As I added a few extra ones to this list, I called mine "The Historical London Pub Crawl". Borough Market All good pub crawls should start with food to help line the stomach (Hey! I'm a responsible drinker!). Some might say, that "eating is cheating" but to me this only applies half way through a pub crawl, not before starting one and definitely not after one. So what better place to get some food then to
