I was mocked for wanting to visit a BrewDog whilst abroad but it was my first opportunity to see what an international BrewDog is all about ("it'll be the same Hedges, what are you on about?"). As it was only a stone's throw from the touristy area it made a quick beer or two here at lunch-time all the more an obvious, and necessary, choice.

It definitely had enough about it for it to be worth a visit - I like visiting smaller BrewDog's because they often have their own artwork/style and feel way less like a chain (if you ignore some aspects). We grabbed some beers and sat in the alley out front trying not to melt in the freak heatwave that was going on.

I had two beers from Milan microbrewery Birrificio Lambrate, one an ordinary lager (Drago Verde) which was fine in the sunshine but the other was a wonderful New England IPA called The Magic Tram brewed in collaboration with London champs Beavertown that fully justified visiting this bar.
