Wet January - The Annual CBGB Bermondsey Beer Mile crawl returns for 2026

January is shit, isn't it?

Everyone is mentally, emotionally and financially exhausted after Christmas.

The weather is just grey and drizzly.

Everyone is on a diet. Most of your friends are doing Dry January.
The gym will be heaving for the next six weeks. If you happen to have a birthday in January then nobody wants to go out and do anything because they’re broke, sober or trying Veganuary (or perhaps even all three, for the true trifecta of misery).

On top of all of this, we are mere weeks away from the shiny promise of the new year dissolving into familiar, crushing disappointment.

Because of all of this, your favourite small craft breweries, bars and pubs have a tough time this month. The good news is that we can all collectively do something to help them out, and all we have to do is drink beer!

The CBGB Annual Dry January Bermondsey Beer Mile MeetUp is back for 2026. Welcome to Wet January.

When: Saturday 17th January 2026
Kick-off time: 2pm

Proposed route:

· Southwark Brewing Company (46 Druid Street) – 2pm-3pm
· Anspach & Hobday (The Arch House) (118 Druid Street) – 3:10pm – 4:10pm
· Cloudwater (73 Enid Street) – 4:20pm – 5:30pm
· The Kernel Brewery (132 Spa Road) – 5:40 – 7:00pm

Afterwards, should anyone still wish to, then suggest we head to Craft Beer Junction (86 Enid Street).

The whole route is roughly a mile to walk and there will be around a 5 minute walk in between venues.

Anspach & Hobday are happy for you to bring food in from the market on nearby Maltby Street and the Kernel have a proper kitchen serving food with a rotating residency – I believe it is a Japanese-inspired menu currently. There is also usually a food truck outside one of the other taprooms on Enid Street that sells pizza.
