Summer Sommer

Friday the 13th will be a day for multitasking. At the same time as launching the 2013 batch of of Garage Project’s Summer Sommer, we’ll also be holding a charity event benefiting Kaibosh and Room at the Inn christmas dinner. You can support these causes by multitasking too! Simply come along tomorrow from 5pm and buy a Garage Project tap beer, which will also be a donation to the afore mentioned charities. Threatening to steal the show from Summer Sommer will be Lord Cockswain’s Courage Blended Porter. You may know this bourbon barrel aged imperial porter from its bottle release, but this is the first time it will be on tap. All proceeds from LCCBP will count towards the donations. Donating to charity by drinking beer? Everyone wins!

Christmas Opening Hours

No table of dates required here. We’ll be closed on Christmas day (as required by law), otherwise we’ll be opening every day at midday as per usual. Easy.

Black Spider Stomp

If you’re out and about on Saturday night, why not pop in and have a great beer with some great music. This week Black Spider Stomp bring to the lounge their swinging gypsy mix of original compositions and Django Reinhardt classics for a night of old-school traveller fun. Playing from 10pm Saturday, and as always, no charge.

Ramen Shop Friday

We’re opening early at 11.30am this Friday so you have more time to grab a bowl of delicious noodley goodness that is Ramen Shop.

New Release Hoffday

Baylands brewery’s love affair with rye malt and David Hasselhoff continues on Tuesday with the release of the first test batch of ‘Knight Ryder’. This seasonal misfit is a 6% chocolate rye stout, so should be perfect for summer drinking. Aidan just brewed a small batch on his 50L test kit, so only one keg of this beer exists. Come and give the brewer some feedback from 5pm this Tuesday.

New & Coming soon

New to the fridge are some exciting Belgian sours! Lindemans Cuvee Renee Geuze Grand Cru (dirty-in-a-good-way), Liefmans Cuvee Brut Kriek (sour cherry) and Liefmans Goudenband (subtly sour brown). New in the bottle from the states is Green Flash Saison Diego featuring orange, ginger and grains of paradise (whatever those are). Also Speakeasy Butchertown Black Ale, a masterfully balanced black IPA.

On tap now is Twisted Hop’s new IIPA ‘Double Hopback’ and newcomer Stewart Brewing’s ‘Top of the Hops Pilsner’. Coming soon on tap is Behemoth’s newly released Chur! pale ale, and Golden Bear’s Ale/Lager blend ‘IPAL’.
