🚨🍺 THERE’S A NEW BEER IN TOWN… 🍺🚨

It’s time to say goodbye to an old favourite… Hurricane is no more! 🥲🌪️

But fear not, because flying in to take its place is MOONLIGHT 🌙

Direct from Arkell's Brewery now pouring at The Jovie and ready for its moment in the spotlight 🍻

So if you were a Hurricane fan… there’s only one thing for it.

Come and meet its replacement. 👀🍺

Will Moonlight live up to the legacy? There’s only one way to find out… 😏

Last night we had the pleasure of the wonderful artini.uk hosting an incredibly well put together Sip & Paint event with 20 of us! 🎨

Everything was presented beautifully and despite almost all of us having zero painting experience, we all come away with a lovely painting that we were all very proud of! 👩🏼‍🎨

Thank you Francesca for a really special evening! We already can’t wait for the next one
