Visitors who complete the mile tomorrow will receive a free “commemorative pint glass”
The “Blackhorse Beer Mile” in Walthamstow celebrates its first birthday tomorrow.
The Beer Mile in Walthamstow’s industrial area, Blackhorse Lane, consists of eight venues all within a ten-minute walk of each other: Big Penny Social, Signature Brew, Pretty Decent, Exale, Beerblefish, Hackney Brewery, Wild Card Brewery and Renegade.
On 30th April, visitors who get a stamp at each venue, in any order, will win a special commemorative pint class to take home. The taprooms will also celebrate with live bands and DJs throughout the day.
The Beer Mile includes the UK’s “biggest beer hall”, Big Penny Social, which boasts a maximum capacity of 1,400 inside and 350 in its garden. The newest venue, which opened in December, is Pretty Decent.
Waltham Forest Council has financially supported the Beer Mile, which it hopes will create an “urban buzz” in an area it hopes to see thousands of new homes built, spending £600,000 on a makeover for part of the mile last year.
