Beer, Gin & Live Rugby Magic Weekend
event cancelled
Unfortunately, we have not been able to renew our current contract with sky. We hope to have a new contract in place for next year. Sorry for any inconvenience"The best thing about Rugby League is the fans. The banter is always friendly and we look forward to seeing shirts from every team enjoying the event together over the course of the weekend."
As a massive saints fan and has created a beer festival (in Wigan... at risk of his own life!) to live stream all the Rugby League games over the magic weekend.
This year the event remains free of charge and has this year moved to a bigger and better home on the field behind the brewery, an ideal location for families to relax in and maybe even pass a ball around!
The event will kick off at the Wayfarer on Friday the 3rd September with live covers music.

Jonny likes nothing better than a quality, decent beer, so much so, he built a brewery intending to capture flavours from his imagination. We like to think it's 'his passion' that goes into making these cask conditioned ales so good, we’d love you to sample his magic!

...and if you ever thought just where did that name come from? The Problem Child name originates from prodigal daughter Rachel of the Wayfarer. Once a problem child in her teens, she is now happily married to Jonny the head brewer. Their son Obi is the apprentice Brewer, but not another problem child in the making!
