As I was browsing through the web and visiting my usual “food & drink” information websites (my morning routine – just after grabbing a bowl of low-fat cereals –\u00a0 since my college teachers forced me to “keep myself informed at all times” by sadistically preparing tricky writing tests about the latest news in ENTER THE NAME OF A RANDOM REMOTE TRIBE HERE), I came accross a pretty good news for the English craft beverage industry, the first-ever market dedicated to drinks is to kick off this Saturday in London !<\/p>\n

The Londoner craft brewing and distilling scene has been booming since a few years and the initiative is a great way to show drinks enthusiasts and tourists alike, how innovative are London’s beer\/cider\/spirits producers. Hackney is also a strategical point to open this market as it has become a kind of craft drinks eldorado those past few years (Five Points, Redchurch, Howling Hops…) !<\/p>\n

Here’s what you can read on the brand new Hackney Drinks’ Market website<\/a> :<\/em><\/p>\n

“Today in London there are nearly\u00a0100 regular food markets but not one regular drinks market.\u00a0The aim of\u00a0Hackney Drinks Market is to change this and\u00a0create a permanent home for London’s drinks producers.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

London’s brewing industry is going through a renaissance\u00a0and\u00a0there are now more breweries per capita in the UK than any other country in the world.\u00a0But if you look\u00a0beyond beer, there are also so many other types of amazing\u00a0drinks producers appearing around the capital. From ex brewers turning their hands to\u00a0sodas, to tiny railway arches becoming small batch distilleries.<\/strong>\u00a0So our ambition\u00a0is\u00a0to create a Columbia rd for\u00a0drinks because we believe\u00a0London needs one.<\/p>\n

The market will run on the first Saturday of each\u00a0month\u00a0with around 30 stalls featuring a rolling roster of distillers, brewers and soft drink producers from around London<\/strong>. Drink can be enjoyed\u00a0on site or taken home.\u00a0Hot\u00a0food and bar snacks traders have been selected\u00a0to compliment the drinks. Bar Snacks will include\u00a0homemade pork scratchings, Biltong and\u00a0cheeses. While hot\u00a0food will draw from bar food from\u00a0different drinking cultures around the world from\u00a0traditional British food to experimental US bbq.”<\/p>\n
