US BEER COCKTAIL BATTLE
To wind down GBW this year, Carwyn Cellars is hosting a no-holds-barred Beer Cocktail Battle between Portland cocktail expert Jacob Grier and 3 of their very own staff. Jacob will be presenting the audience with three of his favourite beer based recipes, and then after each cocktail, a Carwyn staff member will have the right of reply!
HE SAID BEER, SHE SAID WINE!
With craft beer being the (not so) new kid on the block many people now believe beer is in fact better suited to match with food! Big Mouth in St Kilda will let you be the judge as they present four dishes paired with four wines and four beers.
MASTERS OF CRAFT
Upon your arrival at The Crafty Squire you will be given a passport, and as you embark along the journey you will find your way to eight different stops with a range of beer and food workshops, ranging from smallgoods to cheese to leather making.
