Any cheap flights to the UK going, or..?
If there’s one thing we can’t say no to, one thing that unites us, it’s free drink.
Scientific (anecdotal) evidence shows it’s physically impossible to turn down a free drink. That would explain the success of the LoneWolf vending machines launched in London earlier this year, when people were lining up to grab a free gin and tonic.
Now, they are spreading their generosity to the north. The craft gin brand, backed by BrewDog are launching another free G&T vending machine, this time in Manchester.
The hidden vending machine can be spotted at the Barton Arcade (48 Barton Square, M3 2BH) and will be dispensing cans of LoneWolf’s signature gin and tonic on the 16 and 17 April.
LoneWolf’s latest venture is a nod to the history of gin’s prohibition in the 1800s, which led to the invention of covert vending machines. Bars would create hidden slots that would dispense shots of gin to those in need of a sneaky dram.
Doug Bairner, Managing Director of LoneWolf commented:
“Gin distillation is something that runs through the veins of the UK’s cultural history and after the huge success of unleashing our LoneWolf Gin and Tonic cans onto the streets of London, we can’t wait to take over another city.
“This vending machine installation gives us the ideal opportunity to add innovation and the cunning wisdom of the past to the iconic and rich tapestry of Manchester.
“It took 192 unique distillations to perfect LoneWolf Gin, and our new gin and tonic cans are the latest manifestation of our dedication to delivering the perfect serve every time.
“Packing a punch at 8.8 percent ABV, these cans are the perfect ratio of our gin and bespoke tonic, which you can enjoy wherever you are.”
So is anyone up for a sneaky trip away, or..?
