Birmingham, you are on a massive vegan roll at the moment.
First there was this news of a vegan shop opening and now you can go along to this vegan-friendly food and drink event this weekend.
Check it out.
Best move
Do you remember when I flipped out about CookDaily having the best vegan food in London.
Sure, you do. I even swore. Check out the blog post here.
It seems you can’t keep fabulous food down because CookDaily is set to open location in addition to the pop-up they have in Boxpark Shoreditch.
Check out this interview excerpt in which King talks about where he is taking his scrumptious food creations next:
Just delicious
Did you all get along to the mega Just V Show in London Olympia last weekend?
If you didn’t, the following photo collection documents some of the goodness you missed out on.
If you did make it, I’d love for you to tell me what vegan goodies I missed as I scuttled around the venue.
Brass Castle list
Brass Castle Brewery is coming back to wow the crowds of London Vegan Beer Fest once again with an impressive line up of vegan brews that will make your mouth water.
This Yorkshire brewery always comes out on top when we ask people to vote for their favourite overall vendor at the event and I’m sure the following drinking list is going to win them a lot of new fans next weekend:
Vegan Rotterdam
Post by:
I’m going to take a brief break from Berlin this week, and tell you about a unique vegan restaurant called Gare du Nord. Despite the name, it’s not in Paris but actually in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and we visited in November last year.
Well, the restaurant does have a strange link to Berlin actually. One of my specialist subjects is the former East Germany. For anyone interested in recent history, what happened in this part of the world during the 45 years after the war is fascinating.
Team fox
In case you didn’t know, the Prime Minister is leading the charge to relax laws governing fox hunting.
Read this and feel outraged.
The vote to relax these laws which will allow the widespread harassment and murder of foxes is happening within days.
It is CRUCIAL that you contact your MP and demand that they vote against any such relaxation of hunting laws.
You can visit one of the following websites that will help you contact your MP:
We must work together to stop the Hunting Act from being repealed or relaxed.
I know we get asked to sign a lot of petitions and take a lot of action over the Internet and it is easy to feel swamped by information.
But I implore you to click on one of the above links and take 5 to 10 minutes out of your day to send a loud and clear message to your MP.
We need to protect foxes from cruel hunts.
Beer frenzy
One of the most enjoyable things to happen to me in a long time happened a few nights ago.
I was invited to a vegan beer tasting event and talk.
Check it out.
The friendly people from And Union invited me along to a night they were hosting in a West London pub. It was an informal mix of journalists and business acquaintances, but the real focus was the beer and there certainly was a lot of the good stuff to get through.
Vegan beer list
One of my favourite breweries in the UK has enjoyed a name and logo change.
Hastings Brewery is now Hastings Beer Co, but no matter what the name these people make awesome vegan beer and you should drink some.
Check out this list of drinks Hastings Beer Co will be serving at London Vegan Beer Fest on Saturday July 18, 2015 in King’s Cross.
