Your Dad can get himself a Guinness any time he likes. So for his special day, broaden his horizons and take him to try quirky sours, funky ales and other off-beat beers at one of London’s best taprooms or breweries. The behemoth Big Penny Social in Walthamstow has 82 taps serving a rotating lineup of beers from local and independent breweries and Blondies is the perfect place for metal-loving pops. For the sober-curious fathers, there’s the Small Beer Brew Co serving up number of low-calorie, low-ABV brews without sacrificing any of the flavour.
It’s true – Dads can be hard people to please. But if you were planning on getting your old man a pair of socks or a bottle of whiskey for Father’s Day this year and calling it a day, let us stop you right there. Why not treat him to a proper day out, eh?
If you want to go beyond the cliche steakhouse or pub dinner (though they’re both perfectly good options), London is awash with other stuff that’ll bring a smile to your dad’s face, whether he’s a sports fiend, a gaming enthusiast, a comedy lover or a beer coneisseur.
Here’s our pick of some genuinely good, not-at-all naff things to do with your pops this Father’s Day (Sunday, June 15, in case you need reminding).
