A charming take on the classic British pub, visitors to The Tiny Tankard will be able to enjoy their Baby Lager in a tiny stein glass in a fully immersive environment. Step inside this exclusive one-time-only installation to experience the UK’s biggest, smallest drinks trend, miniature cocktails, led by the viral sensation Baby Lager.
The Tiny Tankard was born from a play on Licor 43’s Baby Lager serve making waves in the UK. Licor 43 is topped with cream liqueur, perfectly resembling a tiny pint of beer.
The 6.5ft x 3.25ft pub will be in the city centre next Tuesday and Wednesday (March 11 and 12) as part of the Northern Restaurant and Bar (NRB) trade show at Manchester Central. Spanning 21 sq ft, owners of the pub have laid claim to it being the world’s smallest – beating out the current record holder The Signal Box Inn, which is based in Cleethorpes, and is just 8ft by 8ft in size.
