Howzat for Beach Beer?

Genius Brewing toasts the new beach cricket season in Elie

Beach cricket in Elie plays a big part of the summer's in Fife. The Ship Inn, which overlooks the beautiful beach, regularly hosts teams from across the country for 30-over games on their uniquely wet wicket. Genius Brewing was delighted to sponsor the season’s opening match versus Kilmalcolm Cricket Club.

Beach cricket can be thirsty work and throughout the day, Gen!us light craft beers were at hand, in draft and cans, to keep the players and spectators well refreshed.

Brewed to 3% ABV with finest malted barley and hop varieties from around the world, Gen!us Craft Lager and Gen!us IPA combine true craft flavour with less alcohol and low calories. Light, hoppy, and refreshing, they're the ideal session beers for a day in the sun watching sport.

The Ship Inn is always at the heart of Elie’s hospitality. Perfectly positioned overlooking the stunning bay, the cosy traditional pub offers top-quality food and a beach bar with a perfect view of the cricket.

Kilmacolm added some star power in former Rangers and Scotland football legend Ally McCoist. As wicketkeeper, Ally's antics behind the stumps were only just less comical than his batting!
