Brand new ‘Beer Mile’ coming to East London with live music, street food and brewery tours

Now that another weekend is rolling around again, you may be itching to decide how you’re going to spend your Saturday and Sunday. Living in London, we’re all spoilt for choice when it comes to things to do, and East London in particular is the most incredible social hub.

Specifically, Walthamstow is a vibrant, up-and-coming area with a great deal going on. When it comes to food, drink and socialising you certainly have a great deal to choose from in E17. In particular, this coming Sunday, May 1, you can kick off the Spring season with a wonderful brewery event.

That’s right, Walthamstow-based brewery Signature Brew are gearing up for a busy summer of events at their Blackhorse Road brewery and Haggerston Beer Bar. This Sunday, they’ll be launching the Blackhorse Beer Mile , and are looking to welcome as many Londoners as possible.

This wonderful event, which runs from midday to midnight, will span across a number of brewery taprooms, from Signature Brew, Exale, Beerblefish, Hackney Brewery, Wild Card and Truman’s Social Club, with live music, street food and brewery tours all day. What’s more, entry to the event is entirely free – what’s not to love?

There will truly be something for everyone at this event – whether you’re a beer lover, a foodie or a lover of music, you’ll be sure to be catered for. This rapidly growing area of E17 is proving to be a new centre for some of London’s best breweries, and there is a great deal to explore in the area.

What’s more, the Blackhorse Beer Mile is set to rival South London’s Bermondsey Beer Mile and is already proving itself as East London’s must-visit location for craft beer drinkers in 2022.

East London based brewery Signature Brew describe themselves as being “on a mission to unite people through the power of fresh beer, great music and unforgettable experiences.” From the state-of-the-art brewery and music venue in Blackhorse Road E17, and beer and music bar in Haggerston E8, Signature Brew is creating a world of incredible beer and music for East Londoners to enjoy.

Since Signature Brew started in 2011, their legendary band collaboration beers have seen them brew with more artists than any other brewery in the world, including the likes of Hot Chip, alt-J, Mastodon, IDLES, The Darkness, Sports Team, Enter Shikari, Big Joanie, Mogwai, Ed Gamble and Hospital Records.
