For those lucky enough to find themselves at the MCG on Grand Final day, unfortunately the beer selection isn't quite up to scratch. Surely they desperately wish they could enjoy a double IPA at halftime.

For those looking to enjoy good beer during the game, there's myriad good bars and breweries doing great stuff on September September 29. So we'll keep updating the list below as we're told about new events.
