Sunday sees the debut of the first BrewZine – another new event on the small press calendar – at the Gipsy Hill Brewery in London. Mixing a zine and small press comics fair alongside a programme of events for those with a DIY culture interest it’s a welcome addition to a scene still recovering from the loss of the many events that didn’t survive the pandemic. Showrunner Hannah Lee Miller already has significant experience of how to run a cool indie fair having been one of the co-organisers of the South London Comic and Zine Fair (SLCZF) in 2022.
