Problem Child Brewing has finally made its mind up (probably, like 89% sure) on what's going to be on the bar at this weekend's Problem Child Events & Festivals Originals Festival!

The award-winning pale beer Heidrun, our traditional English ale Rapscallion, the Bavarian style lager beer Dirty Bier, and the hop-forward smash in the face that is Shenanigans. How's that for a slice of fried amber?

Get your Originals tickets via www.problemchildevents.co.uk/originals and we'll see you in The Field!

A little stout for a stormtrooper? I feel like he deserves it, he's been through a lot!

-----

Okay, I imagine you have some questions...

> Why are you doing this?

It's Star Wars Day!

> Yeah, but why are YOU doing this, you're a brewery?

We have an award-winning stout called Darth Vegas. It's the preferred tipple of stormtroopers across the galaxy.* Also because Jonny LOVES Star Wars.

> Who's stormtrooper costume is that?

It's Jonny's.

> He had that already?

He did.

> Why?

When we said he loves Star Wars, we meant it.

> How does he feel about Jar Jar Binks?

Okay, no more questions now...

May The Fourth Be With You!

*this is unproven, please don't sue us Disney, it's a bit of a laugh, yeah?

Can't make it to the pub this Bank Holiday weekend? Bring the pub to you!

Get fresh beer to take home with our Bag-In-Box and enjoy a Problem Child brew on tap in the comfort of your own home. 🍻 The beer is taken directly from the cask, sealed into the Bag-In-Box, and ready to drink immediately - perfect for if the weather holds and you end up bringing out the barbeque!

If kept cool, the beer stays fresh for a couple of weeks.

To see what we currently have on offer and place an order, email [email protected] or drop us a message on either our Facebook or Instagram pages.

Please always message in advance. Collection only from The Wayfarer, Parbold.
Weekdays preferred.

Happy Bank Holiday!

We promise our new ruby red mild ale is less annoying than all of these! But still Mildly Annoying. 😉

It's on tap now exclusively at The Wayfarer whilst stocks last! Come get a pint whilst the sun is shining!

Swipe to see some of our team's mild annoyances. Do you agree? What are yours? 🤔

We have a new problem. Mild by name, not by nature. 🍻

Meet Mildly Annoying, a ruby red mild ale that's, as it turns out, really quite red indeed!

It's on tap now exclusively at and we can confirm after extensive testing it tastes great in the beer garden. 😎

Come on down whilst it's on tap and the sun is out!

Don't be in Isolation this weekend. Come down to The Wayfarer for a pint of one instead! We have four brews on tap including Isolation (obviously), Billy No Mates, and the award-winning Darth Vegas.

See you there?
