The Crafty Planner: July 9 to 15

So what lies ahead this week in the world of Aussie craft beer? Plenty, as usual. For The Crafty Pint, there will be a first visit to the new Matilda Bay Brewery Bar and stops to see a few brewers and venues owners we’re keen to add to the site. That’s followed by a whistle stop trip to Sydney to call in on more venues and brewers, then Port Stephens for a spot of brewing with the NSW arm of the Crafty Crew before swinging north a week tomorrow for Queensland Beer Week.

If you’re after something to satisfy your crafty urges this week, you’ll find the following listed in our Events Diary. And if you’ve got something on that you’d like adding to the Diary, remember to email events@craftypint.com with details – particularly those of you outside Victoria as this week’s list is rather heavily weighted in favour of the Big V and we’re pretty sure people are having fun elsewhere…
