Burger with a view

by

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.

20150406_180034Yep. 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?

Vegan beer article

by

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.

veganlife issue 4What 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.

Pizza and beer

by

I’m currently in the southern seaside town of Brighton for the annual Vegfest celebrations and I’m investing some time into getting to know some local vegan food.

One plant-based food experience came courtesy of a pizza restaurant called Pizza Face that delivered vegan food and beer to my hotel room.

Check out the photo below.

Moth believes in an afterglow

by

Manchester is hurtling towards being the most fun destination in the UK for vegans.

They have a super awesome vegan grocery store, an amazing vegan diner and even the non-vegan establishments are serving award-worthy vegan meals. Manchester is a vegan hot spot.

A scorching hot vegan landscape such as this requires lots of vegan beer to cool you down and Beermoth is exactly the place to get the job done.

Vegan beer in Leeds

by

Here is some wonderful news for the vegans and beer lovers of Leeds.

Wharf Chambers Co-operative Club has announced the return of its beer festival, showcasing some of the best in Yorkshire breweries. A hit in last year’s heatwave, the event is going ahead on 19-20th September at the club on Wharf Street, Leeds offering a selection of 25 beers across the spectrum.

10310102_686816841412158_4374693498351204262_nAmong those returning are last year’s favourite, the award winning Golden Salamander from Bradford, along with new offerings from the likes of other favourites Brass Castle, Marble and Two Roses. The festival is also including beers from in and around York, such as the Great Yorkshire, Rudgate and Harrograte Breweries as well as the York Brewery itself, with a few from further afield such as Wold Top from outside Scarborough. In addition to casks there will also be a selection of keg beers from Golden Owl, Northern Monk and Brass Castle.

There will be over twenty casks and several kegs in the selection with cider lovers also being catered for. All beer and food will be suitable for vegans so everyone can get stuck in.

To make sure all attendees are having the best time possible, local DJs will be spinning tunes throughout the event and into the night. I am upset that I won’t be able to make it to Leeds for this event but thrilled to see such wonderful vegan happenings in the Northern city that holds a special place in my heart (once you have lived in Armley, you never really leave Leeds).

Entry to the Wharf Chambers Beer Festival will be £4, which includes a free half pint and souvenir glass.

Get over to the Facebook event page now to RSVP and invite friends.

Vegan brewery news

by

I am all about beer this week. Vegan beer has taken over my life as I gear up for London Vegan Beer Fest. I am up to my ears in hops so you would think the last thing I would have time to write about is a vegan brewery.

But you people need to know about Partizan Brewing.

White bag red bag

by

This just in: amazing ethical tote bags available to buy at London Vegan Beer Fest this Saturday. Sponsored by the wonderful Animal Equality, the commemorative tote bag for the 2014 event is available in red or white.

bag collage lvbf

These bags have been a labour of love for everyone involved. Kip‘s eye-catching design was lovingly hand printed onto each bag by Angela of The Third Estate, which were in turn hot pressed by FGV (that’s me!) to secure the screened ink.

The bags are organic cotton and were manufactured using solar and wind energy, while the ink is specially-sourced and vegan. Not only do the bags look fabulous, they are on the kinder end of the global production spectrum.

Of course the bags are extremely limited and will never be produced again. 50 red and 50 white will be available during London Vegan Beer Fest for the price of £5 per bag.

Will you be buying red or white?

Please follow Animal Equality on Twitter and thank them for supporting this event and for all the incredible work they do to improve outcomes for non-human animals.
