Ooooh spooky weekend, please don't soil yourselves. Our W/E lineup is all killer and no landfiller.
@max.sealy Friday, the legendary Halloween Trip on Saturday, with @jimb.donovan Then the hard jazz bop of the brilliant @willmccreatrio on Sunday! Plus we have @cazcabeltequila specials on all weekend. Get stuck in ghouls

"All work and no play makes (insert name) a dull boy"
Why not TREAT yourself to one or two of our SHINING @cazcabeltequila Halloween Specials. 100% Blue Weber agave tequila, brought to life and mixed fresh by Milk's withered hands.
No TRICKS

Seems like a good week to showcase this weapon.

The Milk Zombie

Three other-worldly rums from @planterayrum the overproof OFTD, Original Dark and Barbados 5-year, a splash of absinthe; then ginger, biscuit, pineapple and violet make this monster a very serious, tasty drink.

Served long in a repurposed Double Barrelled can, because sustainability, and tiki mugs walk out the door like they're being chased by the undead.

Please Zombie responsibly 🧟

What's on this weekend? First off it's another humbling lesson in spelling for this idiot. Our horrifically tasty @cazcabeltequila Halloween menu has 3 different spellings of said delicious tequila. FFS, hey, it's not AI though... Friday is the Milk Crate, with Ady Baker, Drums, Beats, Breaks and Grooves are the order of the eve, top stuff.
Saturday is Jumping Bones, the Mighty AC at the helm, this will be a treat, and then on Sunday its our monthly album listening sesh, Reset.
Classic albums in the entirety; what's going get played? I don't know; I cant even spell

Check us out in @readingmuseum 🤩🎉 #madeit

This weekend at Milk. MiLc @ Milk, on Friday, the chuggiest chugs, toe tappers and thigh slappers from the man MiLc himself.

Art beer. These David Shrigley-designed Toadlicker cans deserve a shout-out. Each piece of art comes with a free beer inside.

Dusted on Saturday, the dusty diggers are back this Sat with more jams than Mr Kipling.

And.... it's the last weekend of Old Fashioned Week, your last chance to bag one of these delights.
