The craft one

This one’s for the hopheads. Some of the best local breweries will be pouring exclusive German craft beer at German Kraft’s brewery at Mercato Metropolitano for one weekend only (October 8-9). All beers will be available in the traditional one-litre German stein glass, alongside the usual pints. And you can tuck into German sausages, pretzels and sharing platters. A live oompah band and German schlager playlist will provide the music.

The riverside one

Grab your pals and head to the Thames for a stein-fuelled evening with a view at Between the Bridges. Spread out at the gigantic 4,000-square-foot drinking space, belt out top tunes with a live band at Massaoke, groove to Old Dirty Brasstards and dance to music brought to you by Guilty Pleasures DJs. If you’re feeling hungry after all that activity there’ll be plenty of street food.

The one that’s a party

Get ready for a Bavarian bonanza at Brick Lane Tap Room. Taking place across both the taproom and the massive warehouse behind it, Brick Lane Bier Fest has a banging line-up of beer, food, cabaret, live music and DJs. It’s set in a cavernous beer hall just off Brick Lane over Halloween weekend (October 30-31), where you can sip on premium-quality Munich lager and late-night cocktails.

Got to get away

Been away but still have the itch? The itch, after 18 months of staying put, to get the heck out of Dodge and see something new? We feel you, sisters and brothers, we feel you. That’s why we’ve asked a bunch of very interesting Londoners about their favourite day trips. Read on for some brilliant suggestions.
