You better beer-lieve that residents at Strachan House care home in Edinburgh, were more than hoppy to raise a glass, and sample some top craft ales, bitters and lagers, in celebration of National Beer Day on Thursday (15 June)!
Staff at Strachan House set up a bar for a real pub experience and brought in a range of brew-tiful world ales for residents to sample. Residents and their visitors enjoyed a beer tasting in the garden as well as enjoying a fun game of beer pong with a difference.
Gordon Philp, General Manager at the home, said: “We love socialising and celebrating all kind of events, it is wonderful to be able to invite family and friends into our garden to join in events again.
“National Beer Day is a day that the residents really enjoy, who doesn’t love a cold beer on a hot summer’s day!”
David Leseuer, a resident at Strachan House, commented: “I didn’t realise we had so many lovely ales, it was fantastic to be able to enjoy a cold beer in the garden with my friends and family – you can’t really beat that now, can you?”
Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
