It's a State of Origin special for the Craft Beer Fight Club in June as The Dog Hotel fronts up for the second time as host of the monthly beer battle usually held at sister venue the Dove & Olive. In the blue corner will be Parramatta's Riverside Brewing Company while the maroon corner will be defended by Newstead Brewing.
How it all works is that each brewer selects two of their best beers then – along with guests – debate, de-construct, digest and vote until an ultimate winner has been found. The winning brewery will go forward to the Grand Final which will take place during Sydney Craft Beer Week.
Aside from getting to try some great beers, you'll get to learn stuff from the people that make the beer, meet some good folk, have some laughs and a great afternoon out where the focus is firmly on fun.
There are two ticket types on offer, depending on how much you want to get involved:
- A Heavyweight ticket gets you four schooners - one of each beer - and will cost $30
- A Featherweight ticket is for those who are newer to beer and just want to try a bit of everything (four middies) and it costs $20
You can pick up both kinds of tickets here.
NB If you're a Crafty Cabal member, you can buy two Heavyweight tickets for the price of one – check your member's area now!
