Ground Zero - In more than one sense.

I met my work colleague's son, Bogdan, recently and got onto the subject of craft beers in Romania (as you do).  He suggested I visit the Hangar Gastropub, also the location of the Ground Zero brewery.  It seemed a good plan... Using my trusty Google Maps app, I ended up in a developing office area of north Bucharest - a couple of Metro stops from where I stay.  The app directed me around the back of a small industrial estate to a location where it was sure a brewery existed.  This took some believing as the photo of the apparent location shows below: Spot the clearly signed entrance It was only the collection of tables and chairs behind the seacontainer that gave it away.  I peered through the blue door and, yep, sure enough it was a deserted bar/brewery. The brewery was in the back room and was an impressive selection of stainless steel (as one should expect).  The barman confirmed they were open and I set about the menu. Must get busy at other times
