On October 17, 1814, the Meux Brewery on London’s Tottenham Court Road generously released over a million liters of porter in one glorious wave, turning the streets of St Giles into the city’s first and finest beer river. Londoners rushed out with pots, pans, kettles and cupped hands to scoop up the free bounty, while the more adventurous simply waded in and went for a refreshing swim. Neighbors toasted one another from doorways, and the whole parish smelled like a pub for days. It remains one of history’s most spontaneous block parties, proof that sometimes the best things in life really do come flowing to your front door.

 

This Saturday, the Beijing Hash House Harriers will mark the 212th anniversary of this frothy milestone with a run worthy of the occasion. Hashers will chase the trail in honor of those brave beer-swimmers of 1814, with a chance to imagine the streets flowing with porter. So bring your thirst, your running shoes, and maybe a bucket for good luck. On-On!
