Hartwall Original® Long Drink is Bringing an Old-School Gaming Tournament to Liverpool’s NQ64
Fancy yourself as Liverpool top gamer? You’re about to get the opportunity to prove yourself as Hartwall Original® Long Drink and NQ64 partner for a series of gaming tournaments.
On 22 February, ‘gin in a tin’ AKA Original® Long Drink and retro arcade game & classic console venue NQ64 will be bringing the people of Liverpool a monthly competition, which will kick off with the iconic Street Fighter II Turbo, a favourite amongst gamers.
Entry to the competition is free and includes Hartwall Original® Long Drink, plus a couple of slices of pizza per person and the chance to be crowned the winner of Street Fighter II Turbo.
Players will be competing for medal positions, with 1st place prizes including tokens to use at NQ64 Liverpool, some tins of Original® Long Drink and a mystery goody bag.
Original® Long Drink – or gin in a tin as it’s more commonly known – is made of Finnish artisan gin, with handpicked natural ingredients, and was originally made for the Helsinki Olympics way back in 1952 to make it easier for bartenders to serve thirsty tourists. Refreshment guaranteed, the OG flavour is gin and grapefruit soda but there’s also orange or cranberry to choose from. You’ll probably recognise them by their infamous stripy cans – the packaging that hasn’t changed since 1952. How much more retro can you get?
It’s time to get your 80’s on and enter the hottest competition in Liverpool, to sign up and enter, message @NQ64Liverpool on Instagram.

The next competition night will be held on 29 March, at 6PM.
