With breweries springing up out of the ground like seeds in the Inner West, GABS coming to Eveleigh for the first time and general inner city love for good beer at what's surely an all-time high, the folks at the Forest Lodge Hotel are doing their bit to help push local brews.
On Friday 29 May they're putting on their first Battle of the Brews (surely more of a celebration than a battle, though everyone loves a bit of friendly rivalry...) which will pit Inner West brewers Young Henrys, Shenanigans and Batch Brewing against some of the best from Sydney's North Shore in the form of 4 Pines, Modus Operandi and Nomad.
It's a pretty simple format where you enjoy three beers from each region, vote for your favourite and the winner gets bragging rights for all of time.
