The Week in Beer: 26-30 June, 2013

Here, enjoy this, the first installment of the London Beer Guide's Week in Beer. If you think there's something missing (or heaven forbid I messed something up), please drop us a tweet @londonbeerguide.

Wednesday, 26 June:

• The Bottle Shop Tasting at Notes Covent Garden
• The Bottle Shop's Andrew will take you through a range of beers, including the obscure Kernel BADSCCANS. Further information here.
• Wild Card Meet the Brewer at Strongroom
• Listen to live music and meet the brewer from Wild Card. Learn more here.
• Weird Beard at the Rake
• The Rake will have on offer a moderate range of beer's from West London's Weird Beard. It's a mini tap takeover.

Thursday, 27 June:

• Camden Town Brewery launches new collaboration beer
• The first chance to try the Camden/ Odell collaboration Baltic Porter. A bit more information on the brew can be found here.
• The Hope Carshalton Firestarter Beer Festival (27-29 June)
• The Hope offering up a solid range of cask and keg beers. See here for the beer list and other festival details.

Friday, 28 June:

• Tap East's first beer festival (28-30 June)
• Tap East will be having their first Open Brewhouse Beer Festival. Looks like they'll have a solid range of Tap East beers, collaborations, one-offs and old favourites. Further information here. 

Saturday, 29 June:

• Craft Beer Co. Clerkenwell 2nd Birthday Party (29-30 June)
• Big event, this one. If the lineup of beers is anything like it was last year this will be a pretty gnarly session. Beers will likely be turning over fairly quickly and there's a large back-log of reserves to be tapped, so a visit at any point of the weekend should prove fruitful. See here for further elaboration.
• By The Horns releases a Wimbledon one-off
• During their Saturday open hours By The Horns will have a one-off blonde beer. Looks like the beer will pop up at selected pubs as well. More information here.
