FILLING FOR GROWLERS
BRIDGE RD BREWERS THE HARVEST ALE
Shrouded in secretary is this annual fresh hop harvest brew. Apparently the hops used are from the local Rostrevor Garden, varieties: unknown! Brewer Ben tells us that it has changed quite a bit from previous versions, with the hopping suitably more robust. Essentially a pale ale base, with copious amounts of new world hop varieties used for a vibrant fruity aroma & robust bitterness on the finish.
*If you don’t already have a growler, bottles are $15 each, while a fill of Bridge Rd Harvest is $25.
SLOW(BEER) WEDNESDAY SPECIALS!
If you know anything about us, you would be aware that our pricing is always very sharp, if not the best in the country. But that’s not to say that we should rest on our laurels & maintain the same old prices. On Wednesdays we will have a variety of deals on offer that will change as stock dictates. Hopefully giving you a chance to try those amazing beers, that ordinarily may be a tad out of your price range or even just the opportunity to pick up a great deal on your favorite craft beers. So swing by on Wednesdays to take full advantage. *DEALS ONLY RUN IN STORE ON WEDNESDAYS & CHANGE AS STOCK DICTATES. NO FURTHER DISCOUNT ON THESE ITEMS.
GOOD BEER WEEK TASTINGS – ALMOST FULL, GET IN QUICK!
With the vision & guidance of some notable Melbourne beer loving folk, good beer week (GBW) is a new initiative celebrating all that is great about craft beer. Beer lovers around the city will be treated to an array of events at some of the best local beer venues.
Given the occasion we thought it apt to offer our most comprehensive, ambitious & overall exciting tasting session yet! You will be guided through the vast beer world, looking at offerings from old & new producers of both classic & obscure styles, comparing locally produced examples with those from abroad. Cheeses, dips, pastes & other tasty morsels will also be matched to compliment & contrast, providing a truly universal beer experience!
