The elusive chile beer. It’s a style I’ve been wanting to try for years, literally, and I’m glad I finally got one with Mikkeller Chipotle Porter. The color is spot on but there isn’t much head.

Following last month’s crawl around Kensington, Phil decided to change just the one letter and take us on a tour of the sights and hostelries of the lesser known Kennington, filling a gap in our coverage of zone 1, and indeed with some quality research his trivia filled some gaps in our knowledge.
