Put Your Reflexes to the Test at Shoreditch's New F1-Inspired Team Beam Challenge

Looking for a competitive weekend activity with friends this June? Head to Shoreditch, where KERB Sports Bar is teaming up with Jim Beam Bourbon to launch the Team Beam Challenge, a free-to-play reaction game inspired by the lightning-fast reflexes of Formula 1® drivers.

Running from Friday 12 June to Sunday 14 June, the challenge invites groups to step up to a Batak-style reaction wall and put their speed, focus and teamwork to the ultimate test. Players will compete against the clock, climb a live leaderboard and battle for bragging rights and prizes.

Designed as a fun, walk-in experience, the Team Beam Challenge brings a taste of F1-style intensity to one of East London's most popular sports bars. Whether you're a motorsport fan or simply looking for something different to do over drinks, it's a chance to challenge your friends in a fast-paced environment and see who comes out on top.

The weekend kicks off in style on Friday evening, with pub culture personality Schooner Scorer hosting the launch event. Known for his high-energy social content and celebration of great pub experiences, he'll be bringing plenty of atmosphere as competitors take their shot at topping the leaderboard. Beyond the action, guests can enjoy a selection of summer serves from Jim Beam Bourbon, including frozen pineapple piña colada slushies, alongside sharing pitchers of Jim Beam & Lemonade. Throughout the weekend, players will also have the chance to win prizes, including complimentary pitchers for themselves and their friends.
