A pint of Voodoo Child and Big Girl's Blouse in the beer garden? YES PLEASE! 😁

Remain calm, but FATHER'S DAY IS THIS SUNDAY 🫨🤯

Now if you're stuck for what to get him, consider this... does he like beer? 🤔

If yes, we got you 👊🏼

If no, we do have t-shirts, hats and snoods... but they are all somewhat beer related. Depends if you think it's his style! And as a Dad can I just say, yes we do have style. "Bad" is a perfectly valid style, thank you! 😎

Our beer shop inside The Wayfarer, Parbold is stocked and ready with cans, bottles, and gift boxes, along with a range of merch.

You can even get fresh beer to take home with our Bag-In-Box. The beer is taken directly from the cask, sealed into the Bag-In-Box, and ready to drink immediately. (Please note, this does take slightly longer, so always message in advance. Collection only. Weekdays preferred.)

Alternatively we have a selection of cans, bottles, and merch on our website (problemchildbrewing.co.uk), but please allow time for delivery as we're a small team - we sadly don't have PCB Prime!

It's BEER DAY BRITAIN 2026 🥳🍻

Celebrate Britain’s national alcoholic drink and spread beery love throughout the land by joining the National Cheers To Beer at 7pm (19.00h) on June 15th, as millions of people across the country raise a glass, say ‘Cheers to Beer’ and post a message on social media with the hashtag

Since 2015, Beer Day Britain has been celebrated annually on 15th June as the UK's very own National Beer Day, supported by the British Beer and Pub Association, the Society of Independent Brewers - SIBA, and the CAMRA

It's particularly pertinent this year, as recently we have seen a number of stories concerning smaller breweries struggling and some even having to close their doors, not to mention how tough the hospitality sector is currently with so many pubs under pressure. So this celebration of beer comes at a vital time.

Join us in a cheers to beer, and if you can, support your local microbrewery.

If you want to let dad know you really, truly love him... then get him a speedboat or a holiday or something, BUT if you want to let him know he's a sound dad that didn't actively ruin your childhood, then you can't go far wrong with something from Problem Child Brewing! 😂

The beer shop is stocked and ready with cans, bottles, and gift boxes (full list of beers below) along with plenty of PCB merch for the discerning beer enthusiast with fantastic taste. 😉

We've got beer towels, bottle openers, beanies, snoods, and tees both on our website (problemchildbrewing.co.uk) and in our beer shop inside The Wayfarer, Parbold.

So what are you waiting for!?

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?
