Simon said “poolside beer” and took it personally 🍻💦

Who needs Ibiza when you’ve got 3 inches of water and a cold Poolside?

Sponsored by bad decisions & Sambrook’s finest. 😎

On tap now 😁

“I think I need a beer… and then another beer.”
We couldn’t agree more. 🍺✨

Gamma Ray has landed back on our seasonal craft rotation — and yes, it’s pouring fresh on tap right now.

This cult-favourite pale ale brings big notes of juicy mango, citrus, and bright hops, all wrapped up in that signature smooth, hazy finish.
Bold, vibrant, and just a little bit irresistible — the kind of beer that turns one pint into a very good decision… twice.

Consider this your sign to upgrade your beer choice. ⚡🍊

Simon’s pre-shift ritual:
3 minutes of dancing,
0 minutes of dignity,
and enough energy to survive a marathon shift 🍻💃 (lies, he will crumble around 3pm)

If you see him slowing down later, it’s your civic duty to bring the vibes, the laughs, and maybe a drink or two to keep him hyper.

Doors open at 12 — come cheer the man on! 🔥

No, Simon is not allowed near the machine.
We value your taste buds too much!
