Labskaus (1st photo), @hamburg style – a culinary specialty of Northern Germany comprising of salted meat, potatoes, onions, pickled gherkin and beetroot. Here it was served with fried eggs, pickled gherkins, red onion salad, beetroot and pickled herring. Tastes like a very well seasoned hash which went perfectly with the garnishes. Can definitely see this between two bits of bread or roll. Delicious!

There are a number of local breweries in Bristol. Some of them supply chains of local pubs as well. We first came across Dawkins Ales at The Hillgrove Porter Stores in Kingsdown, Bristol when trying out Kensai Kitchen, the resident restaurant serving delicious authentic Japanese food out of the pub (more on that another day!). We really liked the Dawkins Ales Bristol Best ale that was on tap at The Hillgrove Porter Stores and decided to go and track them down in person a few months before the Covid lockdown in 2020.
Dawkin’s Ales premisesMini keg
Tucked away in an industrial estate in Easton in Bristol, Dawkins Ales has a small tasting area on site where they brew their wares. We bought a mini keg of Bristol Best along with a selection of bottles and loaded them up into the back of our car.
During Covid, the brewery developed their online ordering and delivery service which we have continued to support over the last couple of years. I remember when their system started off as a Google spreadsheet link which tells you their stock levels at any one time and then you submit your order on an online form. Now they have a slick website with an online ordering system to rival any e-stores – https://dawkinsgeorgesltd.selz.com/
With a mini keg you can get around 8 tall glasses (not quite a pint). Otherwise, each bottle is 500ml.
Another one of favourites from Dawkins Ales is their East Bristol Session Porter, a dark, fruity and malty porter.
