Welcome to another update on the latest goings on in the world of The Crafty Cabal, the happy place you can visit if you choose to become a supporter of The Crafty Pint's independent journalism. And it's an update that's as much about saving dates as anything concrete as we put the finishing touches to a few forthcoming events.

Thanks to everyone who came along to our recent events at Wildflower Brewing & Blending and 3 Ravens for Juicy Day – and to the breweries for hosting. You can check out some photos from the events here.

Barrels, Bar Shouts & More

If you caught our Brew & A with Mornington Peninsula Brewery barrel maestro Kristian Martin (pictured above), you may have noticed mention of a Cabal event at the brewery. While we're still looking to lock in a date, it's happening. So, one Saturday in the coming weeks, we look forward to welcoming Cabalistas to the brewery's barrel room for an exploration of the program that's thus far delivered the delicious Old Pumping Station.

For those of you in Queensland, we're finalising details of our annual Brissy bar shout. After last year's gathering at The Scratch, this time around we're heading to Brewski on July 8. Look out for details as well as how to register in the coming days. All being well, we'll have another brewery event taking place in the city that same weekend too.

And, for those of you in SA, there's just four spots left if you'd like to join us at Pirate Life on the evening of June 30. Full details here.

HOP ON!

If you or your mates have been thinking of signing up, we've got some fresh enticements for you in the form of signup bonuses tied to Bendigo On The Hop and next week's Craft Beer & Cider Festival hosted by The Oak Barrel in Sydney.

We've got one double pass left for the Oak Barrel event to give away to a new member. They're worth $110 and a year's membership costs $99 so, in the words of Americanised, bastardised English, you do the math.

As for Bendigo On The Hop, which returns in late August, we've got ten tickets worth $55 to pass on to new signups. In both the above cases, simply select the signup bonus you'd like when registering.
