LOVE LANE GIN FESTIVAL The Love Lane Brewery Bar and Kitchen gin festival was a celebration of Liverpool’s birthday and a chance to try some new creations by their distiller John O Dowd. You may know John as he was the landlord at the Lion Tavern and is currently the owner of the Belvedere but most of the time he can be seen in the distillery at Love Lane BBK. John created some special gins to sell alongside the Ginsmiths of Liverpool. The Love Lane Marshmallow and Coconut, Pomegranate and Rose and especially the Coffee and Vanilla (great as a gin espresso martini!) went down really well. So well in fact they will be released for sale in October in time for personal and corporate Christmas gifting.
