It's official...we're already halfway through the year (I guess we should start on those resolutions now)! With a huuuuge six months of events already; the next six are not looking any different. To celebrate the halfway mark,  June is our most generous month yet, with a heap of bar shouts and tastings on offer (aka free beer), you definitely don't want to miss out on these.
