Hastings Brewery is now Hastings Beer Co, but no matter what the name these people make awesome vegan beer and you should drink some.

Vegan palm oil

Palm oil continues to be one of the fiercest hot topics for vegans and people concerned with environmental protection.

It is thought of as one of the most destructive crops on the planet and many vegans staunchly refuse to purchase products containing the oil crop.

Most of this talk focusses on palm oil production in southeast Asia due to extensive deforestation associated with the industry. Opponents cite loss of habitat and death to primates on a large scale as main reasons to campaign against the crop.

Eat before drinking

As you know due to my relentless excitement, London Vegan Beer Fest is less than three weeks away.

This year, the massive vegan beer, cider, wine, food and music event has moved to King’s Cross and I am thrilled to have some very special partners helping me make this possible.

Vegan store Vx will be running a merchandise stall inside the venue where you will be able to purchase LVBF t-shirts and posters, as well as a whole range of items from their own Secret Society of Vegans collection.

Fry’s Family Foods have teamed up with Sara Mittersteiner of Pomodoro E Basilico for a gourmet food stand like no other.

You know, Berlin really is the city that keeps on giving, if you’re vegan. Hardly a week goes by without some new addition to the city’s vegan menu.

But one thing that Berlin has lacked is an equivalent to the London Vegan Drinks event… until now! (Well, until Friday 17th of July, anyway.)
