Trust me, you can dance! – Beer.
After water, beer is the second-most famous drink of all time. Annually, almost 190 billion litres of this icy brew are consumed globally – making beer the most widely consumed alcoholic drink on the planet.
On Thursday, April 7 it’s time to toast all things ale with National Beer Day…no matter how you pour it, make sure to celebrate the day in 1933 that prohibition was reversed in the United States.
Here are five of our favourite spots to celebrate Hoppy Hour with a schooner or two, or take your beer home with you:
Bringing beer back to its roots, drop by Eden Brewery on Cavendish Street in Mittagong for a cold one and boozy burger with your mates. More than just another brewery, Eden is built on the foundation of doing good and being a positive influence on the community, donating 10% of profits to Oxfam as a way of providing clean drinking water to those in need.
Take a tour of Eden Brewery and see how all your favourite craft drops are made.
Perhaps book a brewery tour on Thursday and get a behind the scenes look at what goes into brewing Eden’s favourite craft drops, such as Ponderosa IPA and Joshua Tree Lager.
Born from humble beginnings in a backyard, Henry St Brewhouse on Barrett Street brings handcrafted beer to Kensington. This artisan microbrewery and bar brews all its beers on ‘Blue Billy the Rainmaker’ – a sophisticated pilot system that was engineered and built from scratch, piece by piece in the backyard.
As one of Melbourne’s few independent bricks-and-mortar craft breweries, Henry St is a neighbourhood hangout for good beer and a bit of banter; stop in at the bar to fill up your growler from the five core beers always on tap to take home.
Fill up your growler to take home or enjoy a beer onsite at Henry St Brewhouse.
