Missing Longline this year? Come get a little Sunshine instead ☀️🦁

Long Lion 4.0 is rolling into the Taproom on Saturday 24 October, and we’re kicking off the weekend with an afternoon of funk, reggae and tropical tunes on vinyl

Grab your mates, pull up a seat and enjoy a few fresh brews while the records spin. We’re on from 2–9pm, and entry’s free!

Then roll into Sunday with W**e & Food, or keep the Long Lion grooves going at the main event at Neighbourhood Pizzeria from midday.

Good tunes. Cold b**r. Sunshine. You know the drill 🍻

We first released this 8% West Coast IIPA in 2023, and now it’s returned with a fresh take that we reckon is even better.

Big, bold and pouring now at the Sunshine Taproom. Come try the new version and tell us what you think 🍻

Grab your crew, think of a mildly inappropriate team name and get yourselves booked in.

Every Monday | 6:30pm
Teams of up to 6 | Free entry
Book at the bar or give us a call.
