When the Alcohol Emporium team heard about the relaunch of The Eagle in Ladbroke Grove, Notting Hill in West London, we knew we had to head down to check it out.
The basement of Archer Street has previously played host to successful pop-ups, such as the polo-inspired bar Chukka, and last summer’s Festival bar. You may remember the Alcohol Emporium team attended Piste après-ski bar here, which was a Ski Chalet themed pop up in winter last year for the launch of new wines from Accolade Wine?
After missing out on the chance to attend this Breaking Bad themed popup when it was in Hackney Wick, the team jumped at the chance to attend the ABQ London at its new location in Shoreditch.
OK so it’s Valentine’s Day on February 14th and the Alcohol Emporium have scoured the internet for some cool alcohol related presents to give to your special someone.
Don’t leave it last minute this year, find a unique alcohol related gift that will make any valentines for those of legal drinking age of course!
A few weeks ago the Alcohol Emporium team headed to the Meantime Brewery in Greenwich to do a tour of the brewery. However we also thought it would be a nice idea to interview one of the brewers at the same time, the angle we found for the interview was that they currently have the youngest Beer sommelier in the UK!
R&B Distillers, an exciting new whisky brand, launched two new premium whiskies on Monday 7th December 2015. They kindly invited a few members of the team at Alcohol Emporium to join them at the event.
