Just a quick heads-up! 🍻

We’ll be opening our doors a little later than usual tomorrow at 5pm.

That extra hour will only make the first pint taste even better 🍺

See you from 5! 👋🏼

It’s Jaipur June 🧡

Thornbridge’s Jaipur 🤝 Salopian’s Kashmir

Two IPA favourites into one collaboration brew packed with citrus, a touch of pine, and a satisfyingly dry finish.

Proof that two great beers really are better than one 🍻
