This weekend sees the last of the 70-odd Crafty supporters we're sending to GABS for free head to The Dome in Sydney. And, with the all-consuming beast that is Good Beer Week done and dusted for another year, it's time to start lining up more good stuff for members of our Crafty Cabal.
Which, in this update, means three new events, some new deals and news on upcoming prize draws.
Welcome to Wildflower
Regular readers will already know about Sydney's new Wildflower Brewing & Blending thanks to Nick O's fascinating long read that delved into its origins and intentions. Founders Topher and Chris are finally set to open their warehouse to the public on June 3, but Cabalistas can be there two days early.
We've got 20 spots for a free tour & tasting, including cheese and charcuterie, from 6pm to 7.30pm on June 1. More than half the spots had already been filled at time of writing.

Get Juiced!
3 Ravens has declared June 3 Juicy Day in celebration of the first canning run of its Juicy IPA. They're opening to the public from midday but 20 Cabalistas are invited to head in early.
From 11am, they're hosting a tour & tasting for Crafty supporters featuring cans straight off the line, its Mango Lassi IPA and some beers from the barrel program. Almost half of the spots had already been snapped up at time of writing.

Experience The Pirate Life
Few breweries can have exploded onto a beer scene quite like Pirate Life. However you look at it, the Adelaide brewery has enjoyed a winning start to life: trophies, public acclaim, insane growth.
They're not resting on their laurels with exciting new beers on the horizon and further expansion plans too. If you'd like to find out more, join us and the Pirate Life team for a journey into the heart of the brewery on June 30. Beers, food, insight and fun at their Hindmarsh home. Limited to 30 spots.
