If you want to get into British beer then arrange a tour of the Fuller's Brewery. The tour is two hours and at the end is unlimited free beer tasting.

I went with a group of mates and we explained that we were really more interested in the free bar so the guide rushed us through the tour so we could tank up on free booze. You do actually learn about the beer and how to taste it etc...as well. If you bring a group you can get a discount too (we just called and asked).

Go to the Whitehorse in Parson Green too. Its got the best selection of beer in the UK (I think thats right, about 100 different types or something). Nice pub, nice location, great beer. If you wanted to make a day of it you could do the Fullers tour and then follow up with a pub crawl along the river towards Hammersmith/Fulham and then hit up the Whitehorse.

Definately go to the Freeze too.

Also, might be worth having a look at going to the Church. Its an all day drinks party/club. I haven't been since it moved to Clapham but assume its still a good day out.

It's pretty similar to Hemel, the snow isn't quite as good.

It's the Brit Snow Tour Slopestyle though...

I fucking hate Snow and Rock. The amount of times I've seen them trying to sell Full Tilts and park skis to 40-year-old beginner groomer cruisers, who are going on their second holiday to some tourist resort doesn't bare mentioning. They are literally only concerned about flogging their most expensive stuff, rather than actually matching the customer to their gear.
