Mr West Fest 02 (VIC)

Mr West Fest – it just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

This Footscray bar and bottleshop isn't shy about marking its birthday with a bang. The second annual iteration of this event features even more collaborations, more pop-ups, more rarities and more tastings than last year.

In the way of beer, you can expect sour, hoppy, and dark beers from the likes of Brasserie Cantillon, Cloudwater, Collective Arts, Warpigs, Westbrook, Wildflower, Hoppin' Frog, Bellwoods, Jester King, Omnipollo, The Bruery, Mr Banks, La Sirène, Boatrocker, Dollar Bill, Black Arts, Molly Rose, Hop Nation, 3 Raven and Tallboy and Moose.

There will also be Slice Shop pizza specials, a list of natural and minimal intervention wines by the glass, and premium spirits at house pour prices all weekend.

Each day from Friday August 23 to Sunday August 25 will be different, with releases, tastings and rare bottle pours happening all weekend. And the first five Crafty Cabal members to rock up each day get a free pot of their collaboration beer with Molly Rose and Small French Bar – or a pot of Hop Nation Heart.
