London vegan news, reviews & events
One of the most popular bars at the 2014 London Vegan Beer Fest was run by Clarkshaws.
This South London brewery impressed punters during their first showing at the event, so I’m thrilled to have them back this Saturday for the 2015 version.
Check out this awesome line up of brews being poured by Lucy and Ian in the Camden Centre:
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
Check the menu out below:

You all know about Rock ‘n’ Roll Vegan Brunch this Saturday, right?
The brand new weekly event is all about soul food, cocktails, craft beer and rock ‘n’ roll music played by our DJ. It is set to become a London favourite in the Vegbar venue on Tulse Hill in Brixton.
You can click here to read all about the event, including info about the mouthwatering food set to be served.
OK. That’s out of the way. Now for the reason for this blog post.
I am thrilled to welcome Clarkshaws Brewing as the first-ever special guest at Rock ‘n’ Roll Vegan Brunch on Saturday April 18, 2015.
Who are Clarkshaws? I’ll let them tell you!
I’m about to break the vegan Internet.
London. Rejoice.
You can buy one of the nicest vegan burgers in the UK and consume it in one of the most glorious settings in London. This is happening right now in the capital and it is fabulous.
What the heck am I babbling on about? Check out this vegan burger.
Yep. That is a handmade burger patty in bread with cashew cheese and beetroot slices, served next to a bundle of crunchy fries. I can’t even.
This burger was one of the best meals I’ve enjoyed in London. I bet you wanna know where I got it, right?
The brand new issue of Vegan Life magazine features an impressive story about vegan beer. As a lover of compassionate drinking, of course I pushed my snout into the article with my views on drinking kindly.
What is not fab is the more-than-unfortunate subheading for the story on the magazine cover. Drink up, lads? Really? I’m not going to try and explain why this is problematic. You get it, right?
The publishers have been grilled on social media about the blatant sexism and rightly so, with the author of the article even expressing his disappointment with the choice of words.
If you can get past that gruesome mistake, Oliver Coningham has compiled a nifty introduction to vegan beer and I want to thank him for including London Vegan Beer Fest in his article.
You can check out Vegan Life online.
