The Crafty Planner: October 15 to 21

For many people, any planning involving craft beer this week is going to be centred around which events to hit up at Sydney Craft Beer Week. With our sixth preview going live on the site today and our seventh and final one up tomorrow (nice work, Nick O, on the most exhaustive body of work since Tolstoy decided the words “War” and “Peace” sat rather nicely together. Also continuing to party its way around the country is the Mountain Goat 15th birthday tour (is anyone joining us for the boat ride to Goat Island?) while we’re not yet out of Oktoberfest season.

That said, there’s still time for new beer launches, dinners, fundraisers and more. So head to the Events Diary here if anything below takes your fancy. Or, if you’ve anything in mind you’d like to add, flick the details to events@craftypint.com and we’ll get on the case.
