The Dark Nights At The Union Hotel (NSW)

Fri 14 Jun 12:00pm to 16 Jun

The Dark Nights At The Union Hotel (NSW)

Now in its fourth year, The Dark Nights party is one of the best weekends of the year for the crew at the Union Hotel Newtown.

Why's that? Well, it sees the pub curate a list of 40 different dark beers to pour over two nights, so expect a huge list made up of some of the best stouts, porters, bocks, browns, blacks and everything in between they can get their hands on.

On Friday and Saturday, 20 different dark beers will be tapped; then, on Sunday, some of the highlights from those two days reappear.

This year the Union crew are also running a bottle and can menu alongside the taps, with another dozen dark beer options, plus another 40 beers to choose from that aren’t so dark, just in case you feel like a change.
