We’ve been busy checking out Brixton’s local beers. In this second installment, we introduce you to The Brixton Buzz’s “Brixton Buzz”:
A brew with a benevolent tilt. Sounds great. Well knocking back a bottle of this IPA means your boozing will actually be giving something back to the community. The guys down at Brixton Buzz have collaborated with London Beer Lab to produce a range of beers where the profits are donated directly to the Brixton Soup Kitchen.
And the range’s creation was pretty democratic too. The Brixton Buzz asked their readership to suggest what a Brixton beer might look like. So, as one of a range of three, what makes Brixton Buzz unique is that it comes infused with guarana (a coffee bean-sized stimulant native to the Amazon).
It’s a pale ale and weighs in at 4.4%. The bottle looks pretty cool too – the funky labels are designed by esteemed artist Mark Stafford and demonstrate his flare as a quirky comic illustrator. So, it’s not only a beer with a kick. It’s a drink that makes you feel petty good about yourself in more than one way.
Where can you get it? At the time of going to press, stocks of the whole Brixton Buzz range have been depleted thanks to high demand. So watch out for the relaunch in the new year.
