Friday Night Social with Clean Break Brewing on Friday 29th September - Functional Drinks Club

We've got a special Friday Night Social on Friday 29th September, 4pm - 9pm.

Richard Casement, ultra-runner, and Founder of Clean Break Brewing will be here with his new non-alcoholic Pale Ale, "Progression".

Richard was in the alcohol industry for 20 years before deciding to make a big change in his life.

Part of that change led him to create Clean Break Brewing.

We can't wait to tell you his story at our very first Friday Night Social at Functional Drinks Club.

You'll be able to ask Richard any questions you have on the evening while tasting the amazing Progression Pale Ale.

We'll also be recording a live Sober Bandits podcast with Richard.

You'll be able to sit and listen to his whole story, take part in the live Q&A, all while having a non-alcoholic drink or two.

We couldn't think of a better way to launch our Friday Night Socials, and if you're an ultra-runner, or into any kind of outdoor fitness , then this is definitely not a night to be missed.

The Health Hype Roast

Me and clinical nutritionist James Ellis take one big health trend each episode and roast it. Creatine, fibre maxing, collagen, weight loss jabs: what's real, what's rubbish, and what's worth your money. Expect laughs, evidence and the odd uncomfortable truth.
