Sydney Craft Beer Week at your Local Taphouse!

So here it is, what you've all been waiting for! Get your diaries out and your pens ready. 

Here is The Local Taphouse line up for Sydney Craft Beer Week. 

 On Saturday 20th October we have our quarterly Charity Fundraiser, SpecTAPular. The theme is "Hopp'n Mad" so we'll let you use that imagination of yours to think of what we have in store for you all. It's a gold coin donation on the door, there's 20 Hoppy craft beers on tap, a fantastic new menu for the day and great entertainment. Doors open at Midday so get in early to avoid the 'madness'!!

 Right next event, Crafty Trivia on Monday 22nd! After a weekend of SpecTAPular and a nice Sunday roof session you'll need to get your heads back into gear. Come and test your beer knowledge against like minded people. Hosted by John Barrand, there's some great prizes and it's free and starts from 7pm - Why not?!

 If Trivia's not your thing and you happen to be a beer loving female and proud of it, then do we have a treat for you! Head upstairs to The Louvre and the infamous 'Beer Diva' Kirrily Waldhorn herself is hosting Barley's Angels where 'Beer will meet Life Art'. Share some fantastic brews whilst the Beer Diva teaches you the secrets behind them, but it may be hard to concentrate while you're drawing a beautiful Male Model! For a ticket please click here.

 Moving onto Tuesday 23rd October we feel the need for it all to become a bit extreme! The chaps from The Beer Lovers Guide will be here with the new edition of 'The Beer Lovers Guide to Extreme Beer' for all guests! There will be a selection of extreme beers with a paddle of 5 on arrival for all guests. Feeling adventurous? Ready to turn up the notch on your beer drinking? Then click here for a ticket.
 Still on Tuesday, we are now making one home brewers dream come true!
Back in September we gave home brewers the chance to get their creations pro-brewed! Well the time has come to launch the 'Beer mimics Food' Winning brew (brewed in part by our friends at 4 Pines).
The beer will be on tap from 7pm so come down and grab yourself a glass while you still can!

 Well, it's Wednesday 24th October, we've been pretty SpecTAPular and quite artistic with an extreme twist, but now it's time to get 'Epic'. It's an Epic Brewery Tap Make Over for October's edition of Ale Stars. Our monthly beer appreciation society are in for a treat and we've always got tickets for you too. As per usual doors open at 7pm, we will have special guests, quirky Trivia and tasty treats from the Chef.
Ale Stars, this is the only way to begin the better half of the week! For a ticket, book here!

 If you're still here, you've done a smashing job so far so let's keep this beer ball rolling into something a little classier! Thursday 25th October we are hosting our annual 'Brewers & Chewers' event, a delicious 5 course dinner with the brewers themselves who are bringing some special (and in some cases, one of a kind) brews.
Come and dine with the brewers at a feast that will surely make your week. For tickets book here.
 Every day that we do not have an event on, it is business as usual, the DJ's, the Bands, all the goodness that you love about your Local, just stay were you belong! Any queries please give us a call on 02 9360 0088 and we'll show you the way.
 Come and be a part of history!
