Brixton showed up—and the Brixton Culture Capital rum also sold out. All bottles made have been sold out, proving Brixton backs its own—before the world catches on. Huge thanks to everyone who came; feedback from 100 tasters was loud and clear. The question now: where can you sip it?
For now, only two pour points:
Brixton Alchemist Distillery @Impact Brixton— hit us up to book a tasting/making
Healthy Eaters — the only rum bar in Brixton.
Coming very soon: The Liquor Club, Upstairs at the Department Store, Supercute Taproom, Clover’s, Bluethroat and more.
