After a brief hiatus Pour Decisions, in conjunction with the good people at @verdantbrew and @brewingfolk , returns to @tatecornerbar Thursday 11th December! Don’t call it a comeback as we pick up in fine style where we left off. Christmas comes early as we sign off 2025 in the finest of style by welcoming UK hip hop and turntablism royalty, the grandmaster @djmrthing . Joined as ever in the booth by your compère without compare, Doug Shipton.
As a companion piece to the cross-disciplinary, multi-media publication Brewing Folk, this regular gathering is yet another feather in the pluming cap of our good friends Verdant Brewing Co’s extra-curricular activities. Encompassing a podcast, the Beer & Book Club, and regular parties at their Penryn taproom, not to mention their ongoing mission to bridge the worlds of music and beer with a steady flow of collaboration brews.
For anyone who couldn’t make it to Cornwall, Pour Decisions has come to London. Once a month, a carefully curated congregation of guests, ably hosted by resident DJ Doug Shipton, will share their wisdom and their wax, while the bar plays host to a line-up of your favourite hop-forward beers and special guest collaborations.
Doug Shipton
As they are fond of saying in Italy “non c'è due senza tre”. As we say at Brewing Folk, there is no Pour Decisions without your humble host Doug Shipton. A mutable disk jockey and label boss with a rotund rolodex, our statisticians estimate that Doug has flown over a gazillion miles, logged a gajillion hours of needle time, destroyed countless dancefloors, unwittingly mispronounced thousands of artist’s names and/or record titles, and has had at least six dozen arbitrary conversations with hard boiled record shop owners. Most commonly known as co-founder of archival record label Finders Keepers, he has in recent years launched a second label, Fundamental Frequencies, as the back room electronic ying to Finders Keepers’ psychedelic avant-garde yang. Tonight’s Italian company in the booth suits him down to the ground, as he can regularly be found attraverso il paese covered in factor 50 and mosquito bites, guzzling non-filtrata beers and munching Fonzies on the hunt for elusive progressive rock gems, the perfect sofficini and obscure library grails.
