Oh I've only just seen this thread. I wondered what everyone was doing there when I went passed this afternoon. They all looked like they were having a good time. Good luck with it all Brixton Hatter xx
Many thanks. This is why I needed the fridge. Thank you. I owe you a pint! Pop by on Sunday if you can :)
 
I might have to go back tomorrow/today.
I think I've just realised who you are - sorry - I talked to you and poured you drinks but it didn't realise the person in front of me was Greebo! Thanks for coming, hope you had fun. We will introduce ourselves formally next time! x
 
I'd just like to quote that for posterity.

90 minutes later Shippy was gyrating & twerking to the assembled drinkers :)

Cheers fella - you were my best customer on Friday night!

So that's how I twisted my ankle. (I honestly did at some point)

Hopefully I managed to stay on the happy amusing side of being totally rat arsed.



Word to the wise. Pace yourself and don't do it on an empty stomach.

If brixton had ditches I would have woken in one.


No regrets. Well. Apart from not wearing my nekomimi.

Also made it to work on time. Only smelling faintly of alcohol
 
It is indeed a mighty fine brew - Shippy broke the seal and it slowly became a favourite over Friday evening and today. People are sometimes put off by the 7.5% but when you drink it you understand…. Best thing on the bar I reckon. :)


I will get some in for next time.

It really does have an amazing full on flavour. The fist swig is a little harsh on the tartness but after that you acclimatise and suddenly everything else feels a little under flavoured.

Yes the 7.5 thing is something you want to watch out for but given how every sip is an explosion of malic sourness and warming ethanol glow it is perfect for a sipping drink.


Not that quaffing it wasn't enjoyable too.​
 
Had a great time last night. Dropped by for 1 and ended up having several after falling into the company of lots of lovely people.

Was fucking pissed at the end. I'm walking on the balls of my feet this morning because I feel if my heels hit the ground they will jar my eyeballs out of their sockets.

Thanks Brixton Hatter. What a brilliant thing you've done here.
 
Looking forward to popping dahn early this evening!
Great idea, this, Brixton Hatter - really exciting. And as a lifelong cider lover this project fills me with joy. See you later!
