A SIP THROUGH TIME: THE BANKSIDE BREW
Step into The Distillery Bankside and journey back to 1858, when the very ground beneath your feet told a different tale. Back then, London’s water was a risky gamble, often more foe than friend to those who dared to drink it. But the clever folk of Bankside had a tasty solution – ‘small beers’, a safer, flavourful alternative that kept thirsts quenched and health intact.
Inspired by this ingenious piece of history, we’ve crafted our own modern twist on the ‘small beer’ tradition. Our Bankside Brew mocktail is a testament to both the past and the future, blending historical wisdom with contemporary sustainability.
We start with water carefully treated with hops and malt, just as our ancestors did. Then, we add a medley of flavours: the zing of ginger (using every last bit), the sweetness of sugar, the tropical notes of pineapple (rescued from our kitchen’s cutting board), zesty lemon peel, and a fresh sprig of mint. Each ingredient tells a story of resourcefulness, echoing the ‘waste not, want not’ spirit of old Bankside.
The result? A light, refreshing mocktail that dances on your palate, brought to life with a flourish from our siphon – a nod to the 18th-century discovery of artificial carbonation and a playful wink to our Distillery Bar’s distinctive decor.
But here’s where the real magic happens. When you order, you’ll receive an old-fashioned penny from our ‘penny wall’ – a charming feature inspired by the Bank of England vaults that once occupied this very spot. This penny is your key to customisation. Fancy a stronger kick? Simply exchange your penny for a shot of alcohol to transform your mocktail into a cocktail.
So, raise your glass to the ingenuity of the past, the sustainability of the present, and the delightful possibilities of the future. Here’s to the Bankside Brew – a drink that quenches your thirst and your curiosity.
