Recently in Istanbul, I was told by a local work colleague about a micro brewery in the area I was staying - Beşiktaş, a non-touristy but close to painfully-almost-trendy area, especially if you go to the carsi
(the market place centre, which I did). As I passed by the "Craft Beer Lab" I noticed the brewing vats on display. I thought, not unreasonably in my view, that this indicated I had found said microbrewery.
The staff at the door confirmed that they did not brew their own, but they also confirmed that they sold beer for drinking. Sounded good to me. So I headed down into the bowels where the bar was.
What EXCITING beers did they have on tap?
In case you can're read easily from this poor photo: Fuller's Black Cab & London Pride, Punk IPA....
My selected tipple was from a local brewery, and very pleasant indeed
