Five Days Til Frothy

The planets are aligning for what looks like being a rather large night. The Festival of the Frothy kicks off on Saturday, technically in celebration of The Crafty Pint’s first birthday, although that’s really just an excuse for lovers and brewers of great beer to get together and have a good time. The beers are piling up at Beer DeLuxe, the trivia questions – plus a few bonus rounds – are ready to go and the baker’s getting ready to bake us a massive birthday cake using a very special beer.

If you’re coming along, here’s what to expect. If you’re not among the 200 or so who’ve booked spots already, you’ve got until Wednesday, maybe Thursday at a push, to get in by emailing crafty@craftypint.com so the kitchen can finalise catering and Fed Square can work out a floor plan.

Doors:
7pm for 8pm start

Trivia:
Four quiz rounds plus bonus rounds
Heaps of beery prizes

Dinner:
Charcuterie platter on arrival
Followed by platters of beer food (arancini, slow-cooked pork belly, duck rolls, chicken satay, etc) served throughout the trivia
Cheese, fruit and sweet course
Cake

Beer (in Atrium):
Stone & Wood Pacific Ale on arrival
$5 schooners of:
Pacific Ale
Mountain Goat Steam
Bridge Road Saison
Trumer Pils
Hargreaves Hill ESB
*NB For ease of service, you’ll be able to buy tickets worth $5 each beforehand so you don’t have to leave your seats or worry about money during the trivia. All food and beers will be served to your table.

and, in all likelihood, a few more Aussie crafties. It’s a pretty awesome lineup, wouldn’t you say? Once dinner and trivia is over at around 11pm, the after party in Beer DeLuxe will be running until late with DJs playing in the bar. If you’re unable to make the trivia (and we realise Saturday nights are a bit of a pain for hospo folks) come on down and join us after 11pm.

If you’d still like to come, drop us an email asap. Tickets are $65pp for the above or $500 for tables of eight.
