Qld Beer Week 16-22 July

[Snow]

Just looking at the rundown of events for Qld beer week and notice they're already selling out of some tickets. Thinking of going to at least 3 events (The Tank, Meat and Great, and Italian Day at Archive, plus maybe International brewers Day @ Scratch). What have any of you guys got planned to go to? Would be good to coordinate an AHB contingent...

Now to go an earn some brownie points.... :huh:

Cheers - Snow.

I'm over **** talking these guys.
I really hope that they can turn thier beers around into pouring some quality. That place has so much potential.

I would love to see as many as possible of you guys heading out to Yamanto, it will have my beers, Ross's, Burleigh, hotel international and hopefully a few others on tap from Friday until Sunday. Should be the biggest showcase of Qld beers.

Hoping to get thirsty critters to run a bus from central, what day suits most?

Same here! I live 15mins from them and would love to see it as good as it could be.

The tank - meet the brewers at the tank bar in the city on the Tuesday, and I think there's a qld tap takeover on the Monday.
Meat and Great - beer and charcuterie pairing dinner @ Kerbside on the Thursday
Italian day - Italian beer tap takeover with italian food all day on the Saturday.

Cheers - Snow

Scratch then Archive on Saturday Snow??? (or vice versa)
I was thinking the Goat vs Cow might get my vote as well.

Ok, its down to the business end now and for me the week is looking like -

Mon. Piss up @ Archive
Tues. Viven Film Night @ The Scratch
Weds. Schneider Weisse Extreme Wheat Beer Degustation @ The German Club
Thurs. 50th birthday (not mine)
Fri. 2Birds vs Cavalier @ The Scratch* - depends on SWMBO's patience
Sat. Italian Beer Tap Takeover @ Archive & the Home Brew Beers at the Scratch
Sun. Rehab.....


I'll be on a few AFD's after that drunken binge responsible drinking display, I'm telling you.

Oh Gawd - who's ugly mug is in the paper now!?

[tricache]

So I am assuming unless we book tickets or seats or whatever before hand you can't go to any of these things?

 

[Will88]

Some of the events are free and don't need any bookings, such as the Brewtal Brewers on Monday at the Scratch.

My lineup looks like this so far:

MON: Brewtal Brewers @ Scratch
TUES: Beers Lovers Guide to Extreme Beer @ Archive
WED: International Brewers Day @ Scratch
THURS: Little Creatures Brew Lunch @ Archive
SAT: Home Brew Day @ Scratch
SUN: Beer Degustation @ Brewhouse

Should be a good week

 

[tricache]

I wish there were more on the coast...has anyone tried to get a taxi from Brissy :lol:

Might just hit up Burleigh Brewing since MT is a paid event

 

[RdeVjun]

I'll probably hit a few of the freebies myself, however I noticed this the other day- The Villager will have Stone & Wood Jasper at Stone Beer Dinner. Note I'm told by bar staff that Jasper will only be available at the event, it is not on tap all week.
The Villager is a slightly posh CBD 'Gastrobar/ Supper Club' on George St near Queen St Mall/ Casino and it is being put on for Qld Beer Week. I had never been there before but when passing by the other day on my usual walking leg to work I happened to notice it has McLaren Vale, LCPA, S&W, White Rabbit and a few others on tap so I lobbed in for a wee looksie. Not bad, for mine it needs more ambition with the draught menu though.
BTW Tank Hotel group is being liquidated, so Underbelly is now closed. Bugger.

I'm going to these events;

Mon: The Scratch - Brewtal Brewers (Just a few around lunch time due to work)

Wed: The German Club - Schneider Weisse Extreme Wheat Beer Degustation
Thur: Archive - Little Creatures Lunch & Plough Inn - Matilda Bay Degustation
