Special Christmasy brews will be on tap - including a very limited release collab beer with our friends at Grumpy Donuts - and the legendary Jackalope Food Co. will be serving up a Christmas feast.

The ground-breaking expose talks with industry insiders going on the record to explain how carefully Pokies are programmed for addiction and how Australian governments have become the biggest addicts of all. ��We recently chatted with PROUDLY POKIES FREE and found out some hard hitting statistics that made us want to do something to bring awareness to Queenslanders. * 20% of the worlds pokies are in Australia, which is only 0.3% of the worlds population. * QLD has 42,804 pokies - the second most pokies of any state in Australia. Each machine takes $50k a year from the community. * Queenslanders lose more than $2.18 billion a year on the pokies, an amount which is increasing steadily. The money lost on pokies amounts to 64% of total gambling losses in QLD. * 18-34 year olds in QLD play the pokies more than any other form of gambling, and play more often than other age group.
