Gin + More Gin
'8 Great bars, 8 Great Gins, One Great Day' - Tweatup's Ginstock was, as expected, a raving success. What follows is a picture laden photo diary of 6 gin-filled hours and a whole load of fun, games, new pals and a great big thank you to everybody who made the day pretty bloomin' brilliant.
Listen out for whispers about next years event so you can put it in the diary immediately.
Some extraordinarily important calculations were completed and we concluded that we could comfortably get through everything if we spread our cocktails at a rate of one every 27 and a half minutes. No we didn't set a timer and yes we did totally ignore this calculation but what dya know, we made it to the end with plenty on time to spare!

I have come to the conclusion that from now on nothing will ever quite be complete without an enormous tuba. While this is a total over exaggeration, there is definitely something to be said for swinging jazz and blues. I accept that the tuba is negligible.
Cecil's, the hidden oriental speakeasy with a 1930s twist brought us a fruity bottled number, having teamed up with the peppery Half Hitch gin.
We had a couple of food related intermissions from all our sipping, which included the fluffy steamed Yum Buns, packed with hot 'cover-my-face-with-it' sticky sauce and tender pieces of meat.
Also on offer was a ridiculously gooey, creamy macaroni cheese from B.O.B's Lobster. Plenty of sighs of satisfaction where that was concerned! #Thevaniscoming


I took a minor break to finish my growing collection of cocktails I had been hoarding while I drunk at a snails pace. Being a pocket sized creature, this method proved excellent for maintaining my oh so charming character while having the desired skippy feeling inside.

There would never have been a situation where I'd miss receiving a huge pair of angel wings so this was a dream come true. Have you ever met an angel in a tweed bow tie? I think it's about time you did!

And speaking of fantastic photo opportunities, this fellow looked as pretty as a picture in his new attire!

Next year, I'd love to see Opihr, Pickerings and Sacred Gin take to the floor with bars such as The Shop NW10, Discount Suit Company and my new firm favourite Bermondsey Arts Club.
I shall leave you with an insightful last thought and urge you to get on board the gin train and join me next year!
After going through your post I have decided to write a book too so that I could be able to have such a lavish launch of my book also.
