I've never heard of it and I ate at a hipster restaurant on Saturday night.

Then again, it was all I could do to ignore the bloke at the next table's rants about how it was so unfair that everyone's trying to fit up Corbyn as a traitor.  ;D

Oh, Wait! Wasn't a proper hipster restaurant for me. The food came on a plate. ::)

The beer came in something resembling a plant pot, though. :-\
