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.

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.

 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.

Barleys Angels in Darlo and St Kilda

Angels Are Drinking It for Themselves

Fabulous female beer advocates across the globe have launched their own special brand of justice for the craft beer world through the launch of Barley's Angels

The Primary Mission...

From Australia to the UK, Canada to the USA and even as far afield as Argentina some of the world’s leading female beer experts have decided it’s time to combat unjust beer myths and shine a ray of sophistication onto beer’s blokey image, to get women all over the globe enjoying incredible brews.

These acclaimed experts will be unmasking the myths that may hold their fellow females back from the truth of craft beer, helping them to joyfully discover the often surprising flavours found in these artisan products, whilst beating down the doors of beer prejudice wherever they find them.

Our own Barleys Angels arch-angel is Kirrily ‘Beer Diva’ Waldhorn. Kirrily has launched Barleys Angels in both Melbourne and Sydney with a fantastic response in both states. These regular events will run bi-monthly in both Sydney and Melbourne, and will predominantly held at The Local Taphouse in both states (brewery tours etc will also be organised for Barleys Angels participants).

Dates for these events are:

The Local Taphouses to be the home of 'Barley's Angels'!

Beer Diva, Kirrily Waldhorn is launching "Barley's Angels" in Australia as part of an International Network of Women's Consumer Beer Clubs and The Local Taphouses will be their home. Here's the press blurb:

Angels Are Drinking It for Themselves

Fabulous female beer advocates across the globe are poised for their own special brand of justice for the craft beer world through the Global launch of Barley's Angels

Barley's Angels: The Primary Mission
From Australia to the UK, Canada to the USA and even as far afield as Argentina, some of the world's leading beer experts have decided it's time to encourage women all over the globe to enjoy incredible brews.

These acclaimed evangelists will be unmasking the unjust myths that hold their fellow females back from the truth of craft beer, helping them to joyfully discover the unique and diverse flavours found in these artisan products, whilst beating down the doors of beer prejudice wherever they find them.

Lisa Morrison, Oregon Chapter Archangel explains, "The point about Barley's Angels is to ensure that women have a welcoming and friendly environment in which to learn more about the world's greatest beers and chart their own course of discovery."

Melissa Cole, London Chapter Archangel added, "There's so much fabulous flavour to experience, so many great food matches to enjoy and new friends to find in the craft beer world that it would be a crime for women to miss out."

Mission Make It-Possible
The second part of the Barley's Angels mission is to raise funds for the Pink Boots Society, an international trade association of women beer professionals, dedicated to furthering women's careers in beer brewing and the beer industry through scholarships and support networks.

Teri Fahrendorf, President of Pink Boots Society stated, "Women attending their first Barley's Angels chapter meeting will enjoy an environment connecting beer, food, beer history, and women's role in it. They'll have the opportunity to make connections through Barley's Angels worldwide communities when travelling, and will enjoy the camaraderie of new female friends over a pint of fine beer."

She continued, "I believe that women are developing our own beer culture that is strongly related to communication and community. Women's beer appreciation perhaps has less to do with alcohol and bittering rates, and more to do with balance, flavour, and a growing knowledge of women's historical role as the first beer brewers."

Lisa Morrison, Director of the Barley's Angels program added, "Ladies, it's time we got our malty mojo back."

The Australian Launch
The Beer Diva Chapter launches on Friday 30th March 2011, at The Local Taphouse in Darlinghurst. We are proud to announce that The Local Taphouse venues (Darlinghurst and St Kilda), will be the official homes of the Beer Diva Barley's Angels, with the majority of events taking place at these venues.

Kirrily will be showcasing a selection of stunning international and local craft beers which will be paired to a variety of canapes, specifically chosen to enhance the flavours found in the beers.
