Anzac Day SpecTAPular - Lineup announced!

After much effort, and thanks to New Zealand Hops, we're able to announce that our Autumn SpecTAPular will be held this coming Anzac Day in Melbourne and, for the first time, in Sydney.

In the spirit of NZ and Australian co-operation, the Anzac SpecTAPular will feature 8 of New Zealand's finest craft beers on tap for the first time ever in Australia as well as 10-12 great Aussie beers, some on tap in both cities for the first time (such as Stone & Wood's Draught Ale and Wig & Pen's Venom Double IPA)!

We are now planning the food and entertainment (the latter in St Kilda only) but it should be a great day running from midday (from the opening bell) until 1am. A gold coin donation is all that is required to get you in the door.

As is usual practice, we will only have one keg of each beer on the day so get in early..

The lineup so far is as follows:

NEW ZEALAND
1. Pitch Black Stout (Invercargill)
2. Organic Pilsner (Emersons)
3. Golden Ale (Three Boys)
4. Dakota Dark Schwarzbier (Wigram)
5. IPA (Tuatara)
6. Wobbly Boot Porter (Harringtons)
7. Golden Tusk ESB (Pink Elephant)
8. Stonecutter Scotch Ale (Renaissance)

AUSTRALIA
9. Draught Ale (Stone & Wood, NSW)
10. Venom Double IPA (Wig & Pen, ACT)
11. Hop Hog IPA (Feral, WA)
12. Sunshine Coast Dunkelweizen (QLD)
13. Barking Flamingo Framboise (Matilda Bay, VIC)
14. Dirty Angel Porter (Flying Horse, VIC)
15. Vale Ale (McLaren Vale, SA)
16. Moderation Pale Ale (MT Brewery, QLD)
17. 5IBC Barbeerian Wit (5IBC, NSW)
18. Lobethal Red Truck Porter (Lobethal Bierhaus, SA) - TBC
19. Temple Special Bitter (Temple Brewing, VIC)
20. Mountain Goat Surefoot Stout (VIC)

  5. Both kick off at midday. I'd recommend getting in early as we only have one keg each beer (as is normal custom)..
