Fans of big, beautiful, barrel-aged stouts rejoice, for two of the southern hemisphere's masters of the craft have gotten together for an epic collaboration.
Victoria's Boatrocker and New Zealand's 8 Wired Brewing have teamed up to create iJet, a Starward barrel-aged fusion of the former's all-conquering whisky barrel-aged Ramjet imperial stout and the latter's multi award-winning iStout imperial stout.
If you'd like to come and celebrate the arrival of this beautiful, burly lovechild – not to mention Boatrocker's Cherry Happiness – get to Mr West in Footscray on January 27.
Both new beers plus a few other faves will be on tap, with bonus tastings in the bottleshop between 6pm and 8pm.
