From one of our most popular beer releases to pilate sessions on the beach and record breaking Full Circle Run Club, there’s loads to fill you in on.Today we’re diving into all of this month's highlights, upcoming happenings, and a little sunshine-fuelled buzz that’s been keeping us busy. Let’s get into it!

April's Events

Full Circle Balance x Tide Outdoor Fitness

On Sunday the 20th of April,  we hosted our second official Full Circle Balance event—and what a morning it was! We teamed up with the awesome crew at Tide Outdoor Fitness to bring a relaxing beachside pilates session to St. Eddie’s Bay in Tynemouth.


Over 50 of you joined us on the sand for a laid-back pilates class, followed by a brisk sea dip and an ice-cold can of our refreshing Cold IPA, ‘Dip Club’. It was the perfect way to unwind and wrap up a busy week.


We’re all about keeping the good vibes rolling, and this is just the beginning. With a mix of different activities and guest experts, we’re creating more chances for everyone to get involved, try something new, and enjoy experiences that are fun and energising and end with a well-deserved treat. Join us for the next Full Circle Balance event!

This Month's Dual Beer Release

April's dual beer release went down extremely well this month and we definitely won't forget them.


First up is the ultimate sunny-day beer 'Ghoulish Moustache Experiment'. Vibrant, refreshing, and full of character. This brew is packed with punchy tropical fruit and juicy papaya notes, thanks to the dynamic pairing of Idaho 7 and  Krush hops.


The next beer release made waves. I'm Not A Sailor, I'm The Captain, is a 6.3% New Zealand IPA that is way too easy to drink. Made with .Bags of white grape and stone fruit flavour are present from the first taste - the classic NZ hop character we love so much. Abundances of peach, nectarine and apricot, concluding with a light, floral finish.
