I’ve never written about beer as much as I have this week. Beer lists are coming out of my ears ahead of London Vegan Beer Feston Saturday and I’m now adding the final notes to this impressive line up.
Stroud Brewery is back with the event and they are once again bringing the winner of best beer in show 2014, Asparagasm.
Check out the full list of what they will be serving below:
I’m sure it’s not news that Berlin has two branches of the Veganz supermarket (by the way, does anyone get the pun in the name?), but for me perhaps an even greater sign of progress are the Veganz sections in one of Germany’s mainstream supermarkets, Kaiser’s (know as Tengelmann in Bavaria for some reason).
Veganz section in Kaiser’s
Highly visible vegan labelling in prominent locations in a major supermarket is a good sight to see. I feel it helps to normalise the word and concept. This in addition to other products proudly promoted as vegan, for instance in Kaisers’ own chilled sections.
Not Veganz section – just Kaiser’s own vegan advertisement
It’s not just Kaiser’s either, other supermarkets are pushing vegan products as well. Veganz also has concessions in Metro and Globus supermarkets. It’s good to know if you desperately need to do some midnight vegan shopping from treats to staples, there’s somewhere to go. Seitan powder, dried soya chunks, vegan cream (pouring or whipped), energy bars, sweets and chocolate, kale chips, cooking spices, omelette mix… (p.s. If you’re wondering, the pun in Veganz is that ‘ganz’ is German for ‘everything’).

We have all been so excited to have Veg Bar in our midst. This 100% vegan bar and restaurant in Brixton has quickly established itself as a hangout place for London vegans and their friends.
Rock ‘n’ Roll Vegan Brunch takes place every Saturday and is always buzzing with vegan food enthusiasts and hard liquor connoisseurs.
Yep, Veg Bar has enjoyed a solid start out of the box but now changes are in the air to take this south London eatery to the next level.
Big news the first: Chef Jhenn of The Vegan Ronin is now the head chef of Veg Bar. Jhenn is known to hundreds of you as an amazing pop up supper club chef who has fans all over the planet. Seriously. She gets repeat customers from as far away as the USA and Japan.
Check out the super fresh and totally vegan menu Jhenn has launched this week to celebrate taking over the Veg Bar kitchen:
I am writing a blog post about houmous. After all the jokes, all the stereotyping and all the times I’ve been left with nothing to eat but houmous, I am dedicating an entire blog post to the creamy stuff.
Why? Because the smoked organic houmous by Natural Vitality is fabulous.

If you dine and drink at The Gallery Cafe in Bethnal Green often, you will probably have seen and maybe even tasted some of the bottled beers by Redchurch Brewery.
Located just around the corner from the veggie cafe, Redchurch brews are a favourite of east London locals.
