We are super pumped to bring you our annual BeerLympics!! 🍻This is not an event to miss, there will be free refreshments and food, and the best beer olympians racing to the top. The theme is winter olympics so make sure you dress up like you mean it!

One person from the team must then sign up the team through the google form. No more than 5 people per team. 📍Location to be emailed out to attendees on the day. Sign up through the link in our bio :) Message us any questions you may have!

For the first time since 1972 humanity is venturing out of our Earth's orbit! In a mission that's planned to last 10 days we're sending four brave souls further past the moon than we ever have before, and you (yes YOU) have the spectacular chance to come see the launch! We're setting up to watch the event LIVE at 11:00am, Thursday the 2nd of April. So blast off and join us in Rehua 009 to watch history in the making!!! Alternatively, if there are any complications (knock on wood), we'll set up a movie or just a good old catch up with like-minded individuals, either way we'll do our best to bring snacks (and you're welcome to bring your own too) and good vibes!
