In Short
Hopes?
Hopes? Hops!
Reality?
Beery, beery good.
First Impressions?
Rather lager than we had expected.
A USP?
20-plus drinks stalls. A dozen or more food outlets, many the usual suspects from the Matadero, but not a food truck in sight, on site.
The drink in three words?
Hoppy, hoppier, hoppiest.
Can they get the staff?
A friendly experience in every sense.
Service with a smile?
Yes.
Would you take your friends?
Absolutely recommended.
Rating for a dating?
Maybe not a first one, but it's a bit different. And free.
If you could change one thing, what would it be?
A bit more space, maybe.
Going back?
Before it closes on Tuesday, yes.

This Just In...
It's a terrific event this, running until Tuesday May 2nd at 6pm. Plenty of place to stand or sit and chat away from the stalls, including an old shed with space inside that feels - appropriately - like being at the Old Truman Brewery in Brick Lane. Before it got poshed up, anyway. There are more than 20 beers to try, and lots of food options too. Excellently organised, there are no drifts of plastic detritus. You invest €2 in a real, proper glass glass, which you can rinse out around the site as required.


Food options are plenty. Wagyu burgers. That sort of thing. We did have a couple of excellent empanadas from La Graciana (of Mercado Vallehermosa). Saw some bravas (looking a bit overpriced at €5), ginormous hot dogs and some rather nice-looking cheese platters.A jazz band were lurking around in the drizzle this morning, but even in stormy weather, the site, running down the side of the railway museum was worth a slightly windswept wander.

Learn the lingo before you go, though.

For an event next to a railway museum, there's no arguing. It's a chuffing good idea. Get down there.
