This year's selection includes Lervig, Siren, Vault City, Northern Monk and a host of Belgian breweries such as Grimbergen and St Bernadus. Those ales start off weak, including an alcohol-free beer, but as the reviews progress, that ABV counter rises! Soon we're in double digits, with beers such as Delirium and the 12% Stille Nacht.

Mexico City was certainly filled with Day of the Dead revellers, enjoying the costumes and local beverages. We explored some of the tourist highlights, but wanted to get a proper taste of how Mexicans party in honour of their deceased brethren. That's why we ventured into the heart of the country, to Guanajuato.
An absolutely stunning and colourful city, Guanajuato is the self-titled capital of the state and an essential visit. Day of the Dead transforms the entire place, with the subterranean tunnels converted into a proper Dio de los Muertos bar crawl. Probably the best bar crawl I've been on in 2025. So good, I'd happily make the journey over again for a 2026 repeat!

If you're into breweries, the great news is you'll find several along this crawl. From craft beer and lagers to mead and even wine, there's something for everyone. Some big London breweries like Southwark are here, as well as some of the best craft breweries from across the UK (like Cloudwater and Moor Beer). The Bermondsey Beer Mile also offers plenty of food, from pizza to Japanese fare! Pad your stomach better than I did!
If I had to rank all of the bars that we hit up, The Kernel at the Bermondsey end would be right at the top. It's a larger space with an excellent selection and fantastic food. However, many of the breweries including Mash Paddle, Moor and Bianca Road stood out with some delicious craft beers. The Bermondsey Beer Mile even offers sake, if that's your bag!
If you've attempted this London bar crawl, let us know your ranking and best drinking spots along the route. And please do subscribe for more random rubbish!

From the uplifting songs to the generous beer helpings, this folk festival is a dream for anyone who loves a hefty bit of day drinking. Rather scarily, Oktoberfest is fast approaching its 200th anniversary - and would've already done so if a few wars hadn't got in the way a bit. This 2025 celebration runs until October 6, so you've still got some time to come check it out yourself!
As well as the infamous beer tents, this vlog shows off some of the other top festival highlights. These include a huge number of Oktoberfest fun fair rides, plus of course the friendly German locals. Munich is a lovely place and after a few steins, much merriment was had!
Sadly time was short so I didn't get to enjoy much of the food on offer, but it's all standard hearty German fare - wurst, pretzels, stews and the usual. Hopefully I'll be back next year for Oktoberfest 2026, with some extra time on my hands for a more in-depth review. But with any luck, this'll provide a flavour of what to expect and some top tips to make the most of your beer-fuelled trip.

If you stay at the Alton Towers Hotel in 2025/2026, your breakfast is included in the price. This is served up in the Secret Garden restaurant inside of the hotel. It's a basic buffet with a small selection of cereals and fry up bits. Plus some of the most tasteless coffee in the UK.
Once inside of the theme park, your choices include mostly generic fare. Alton Towers has burgers, hot dogs, chicken and sandwiches, all served up at an eye-watering and wallet-emptying price. Never mind the Smiler, it's the cost that'll have your head spinning.
You can also try a sit-down Alton Towers restaurant, like the Oak & Chains. This is the home of the donut burger, which I'll very much not be trying again. It's not the worst burger by any means, but the sweetness is overwhelming.
So that's my one-day review of the food at the Alton Towers Theme Park. Let us know your own thoughts below!
