Brew Hunter - Leather Daddy, Dom, Mentor, Educator - has been a Leather aficionado since his early days as a 1970's Leather kid on his motorcycle. His very first teenage Saturday job paycheck went to buy a Leather jacket, and his second - a pair of heavy black boots... he has never looked back...
A well-known face on London's Leather and Fetish scene for some years now, Brew originated his now-fabled 'Sex, SMoke & Submission' night, MASTERY, in 2013/14 at the world-renowned BACKSTREET club in London's East End, also taking it to Manchester, Berlin and to Amsterdam. Other hardcore nights led by Brew at BACKSTREET were SMOKEHOUSE, RUBBRD and HOG - his skinhead/pig night.
As Covid brought about the closure of BACKSTREET and many other
clubs and events, Brew looked about for a new opportunity to support the London/UK Leather and Fetish Scene. Whilst searching, Brew curated a number of events at London's Bishopsgate Institute, which holds the world's most extensive LGBTQ+ Archive. These events - 'FETISH UNLIMITED' - packed out the venue with men and bois in full leather and fetish wear, and featured art, talks, DJs, markets and viewings of the Archive's XX porn magazine collection. Then (certainly giving the City of London something to look at) the Leathermen crammed onto a big classic red London Routemaster Doubledecker bus, to continue the party at the then-recently-opened LORD CLYDE Club.
In early 2023, Brew had an introduction to the incredible and enthusiastic management at the ELECTROWERKZ venue in Islington, and to Scott Steele - London's newest and most exciting hardcore DJ/Promoter. This brought about the opening of HUNTER in July 2023, which also hosted the opening of the 2023 Tom Of Finland Art & Culture London Festival.
HUNTER quickly went on to become the Ultimate UK Event for hardcore
and hard-playing Fetish men, encouraging back the 'Old Guard' Leather crowd - as well as welcoming the new fats and fierce Fetish 'Vanguard' - the scores of youngsters and newcomers to the Scene - who quickly
and enthusiastically discovered HUNTER as an event that recreates the heady principles and power of the classic days of the hardcore Leather Scene. HUNTER regularly now welcomes guests of all ages and
interests who fly in from worldwide, having heard of, and are eager to join in with, the HUNTER XXperience.

BREW HUNTER WRITES ABOUT MASTERY AND MENTORSHIP:
'The Roman poet Seneca wrote: ‘When a man does not know what harbour he is making for, no wind is the right wind.’
Many homomasculine men imagine, crave and seek, one certain fetish ‘harbour’: the harbour of a full and hard-playing leather life and existence.
The metaphor is apt… deep and often frighteningly dark, certainly hidden from the sight and experience of most men… this harbour’s black waters are frequently treacherous and can reach unplumbed depths.
The majority have no idea how to set their sails in a first tentative effort to attain this seemingly unimaginable goal.
Without a pilot or a guide, without someone who has mastered and weathered the passage, the route, the winds and the tides that carry the voyager on his quest – the course to this particular deceptive and precarious journey’s end can be fraught with uncertainty and trepidation.
Remember, an hour of pain is as long as a day of pleasure...
This is a quest many men desire to undertake – often with a desperation and hunger; they play through that leathered ultimate destination in their innermost thoughts and fantasies, but few are willing to actually commit to the first step in order to acknowledge or to reach the reality.
Fear of the unknown is a powerful inhibition (...but then also, sometimes an aphrodisiac…).
Centuries later, Andre Gide wrote: ‘Man cannot discover new oceans until he has courage to lose sight of the shore.’
Reaching this harbour will, to some, be a pilgrimage, to some, an odyssey, to others even maybe a surrender…
As a Leather Master and mentor - that has always been my reality.'
