Hoist your flags and start the smack talk: Beers Of The Burbs is back for another round of delicious parochialism in 2024.
The initiative from Molly Rose sees six Melbourne suburbs (by way of a top beer venue and its drinkers) go up against each other in a good ol' fashioned "Ours is better than yours!" beer competition where new beers are created, tasted, and the winner gets canned and distributed far and wide. Last year it was the good burghers of Brunswick who took the spoils, so will they get up again or will you step in to try and stop them?
This year's suburbs and venues are as follows:
- The Local Taphouse representing St Kilda East
- Hopheads representing Yarraville
- Beneath Driver Lane representing Melbourne
- Carwyn Cellars representing Thornbury
- Beermash representing Collingwood
- Miss Moses representing Brunswick
To get involved, all you need to do is sign up to your local team (note: you don't have to live locally; just liking the host venue or its people is enough!). once you've joined a team, you'll be part of a journey that takes place in three parts over several weeks:
- 'Brewstorm' - Meet at your chosen venue where you and your team come up with a beer recipe that best represents your suburb; a Molly Rose beer is included to help get the creative juices flowing. Taking place in early August.
- Brew your winning beer – Get together at Molly Rose with your team to brew your beer. The evening includes dinner and a pint.
- Championship Night - Gather with all the teams at Molly Rose for the big reveal and championship taste-off. You'll get to try all six beers, and vote for your favourite. August 26.
To get involved, just head to the Beers Of The Burbs page here, find your team, and sign up.
