Sin Gusano is opening a pop-up mezcal bar at Milkbar in Bateman Street, Soho, from Friday 29th November to Saturday 21st December 2019. Serving up a mix of drinks, the bar will offer flights, cocktails, and boiler makers (mezcal chasers to beers), in a collaboration with Anspach & Hobday brewery. There will also be a a tasting room, in partnership with Pensador Mezcal, and a bottle shop so that you can buy some bottles for yourself or friends. It will be open from Tuesdays to Saturdays from 6pm.
"Sin Gusano, the UK’s first dedicated mezcal bar continues its mission of agave spirit education with its third pop-up bar from Friday 29th November at Milkbar in Soho. Following on from last year’s residency in Haggerston, Sin Gusano moves central to Soho to collaborate with Pensador Mezcal on a mezcal tasting room, as well as an off-licence bottle shop in the run up to Christmas.
In typical Sin Gusano fashion, the signature mezcal flights remain the focus. The rotating flights bring together rare distillates from Sin Gusano’s huge range to help educate drinkers on the distinguishing factors of regional flavour profiles, plants varieties and production techniques.
As with all of Sin Gusano’s offerings, three mezcal cocktails will be available including (subject to change) the Gingerloma; a heady mix of Pensador mezcal, grapefruit, ginger juice, lime, agave syrup and soda. And the Sin Fashion blends Sin Gusano’s Tobaziche agave distillate with chocolate bitters and agave syrup stirred with ice and topped with burnt orange.
Mezcal boiler makers are a new addition to the tasting menu. Inspired by the Mexican way of drinking mezcal, Sin Gusano will collaborate with Anspach & Hobday brewery to offer three combinations of mezcal and beer chaser boiler makers. Pensador Mezcal pairs perfectly with Anspach & Hobday’s The Cream Ale while two Sin Gusano distillates make unexpected but mind-blowing partners to Anspach & Hobday’s The IPA and The Porter.
Another new addition to Sin Gusano’s third pop-up will be the chance for customers to buy and take home distillates as Christmas presents (or for themselves!). Pensador’s mezcals, as well as Sin Gusano’s Tasting Sets and rare distillate bottles will all be available to try before you buy. There will also be the chance to pre-order Sin Gusano’s Mezcal Appreciation Society subscription available from January 2020. Each month members will be sent a 150ml agave spirit tasting bottle with tasting and production notes. The very rare, exceptional distillates (some with as little as five bottles produced and unavailable anywhere else!) will be reserved exclusively for members to buy in full size.
With a pure focus on the mezcal distillates, the food offering at Sin Gusano will be a simple but delicious bar snack of authentic Mexican tortilla chips and salsas."
