Strong Island 3rd Birthday & Charity Raffle

Friday, August 26th, 2011. Published in Features, Local Events, Strong Island by

For all your support over the last 3 years we’d like to say a big thanks and invite you to our 3rd Birthday Party on the 29th of September. Our good friends at The Belle Isle have agreed to let us hold another little social at their bar on Osborne Road and we’d love it if you could join us.

There will be a Charity Raffle with prizes from a variety of local artists, photographers, retailers, friends and much more besides, as well a few freebies. If you came to the 2nd Birthday Raffle last year you’ll know it was a huge success, and we raised over £600 for the Portsmouth RNLI and Portsmouth Autism with over 200 people in attendance.

We will sell tickets on the night for £1 each, or £8 for 10 and ALL proceeds will go towards the Portsmouth RNLI and Portsmouth Autism, with the winning numbers being drawn at the end of the night. Take a look at just some of the prizes that were on offer HERE.

As before there will be a limited supply of free Strong Island Ice Teas on arrival as well as a background playlist supplied by Pet Sounds. Have a peek at last years very successful event HERE and keep up to date over Facebook HERE.

We look forward to seeing you all there.

Tristan & Paul

The 2nd Strong Island Ale – Dry Dock No. 1

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012. Published in Features, Food & Drink, Strong Island by

As you may know each year we run a home brew competition in February where the winning brew has the opportunity to be brewed by Irving & Co Brewing Co. and sold around the city in the summer. Last year’s brew, the Strong Island Hopper Ale, was hugely successful being one of Inving’s best selling ales and selling out so quickly it went through a second brew run. This year’s winning ale is Dry Dock No. 1, originally brewed by Lee Immins, went on sale in some of Portsmouth and Southsea’s pubs over the weekend.

We spoke to The Hole in The Wall in Southsea who said the new ale went down a storm with it being their best seller on Sunday and with almost two barrels empty by the end of the Bank Holiday weekend. Those guys at the Hole in The Wall and their regular ale drinkers know their stuff so for us this was amazing early news with the ale.

To officially launch Dry Dock No. 1 we are having a launch party with the lovely souls at The Belle Isle on Thursday evening. The ale will be on full flow, come down and try a pint or two. As well as being on sale all around the city the ale will also be available in Chichester’s Belle Isle too, so you can drink it away from home for the first time too.

The Isle Of Wight Randonnee 2012 – Team Strong Island

Monday, May 7th, 2012. Published in Bikes & Cycling, Features by

Just over a year ago, a group of Strong Islanders were sat on the Isle of Wight ferry on our way to the yearly Randonnee cycling event; 60 miles around the island spread across 5 checkpoints. Whilst on the crossing we couldn’t help but admire various enthusiasts and their custom team jerseys. Fast forward a year and it is my great pleasure to unveil the Strong Island cycling jersey. Made as a one off for the event, the jersey is our way of representing this city and all the values that come with it. Thanks to the combined designing efforts of Chris Ballingall and Tristan Savage, we were able to produce this clean, retro looking jersey that 11 of Southsea’s finest could wear to conquer the island’s endless hills. Well done chaps.
