THE BEER DIVA PRESENTS THE VICTORIAN WOMEN OF BEER

Live Show, real beer drinking!
A Melbourne Food & Wine Festival Event sponsored by Blackhearts & Sparrows

Australia’s Beer Diva, Kirrily Waldhorn, alongside 5 wonderful Victorian Women of Beer are taking beer secrets and the finer points of beer appreciation to the stage in a unique, witty, interactive theatrical experience coming to the majestic Thornbury Theatre. 

In a cabaret style stage show that is described as ‘part theatre, part sensory indulgence’, the women of beer promise to take their audience on a journey of discovery in five acts that will stimulate all of their senses through projected animation, original music, live performance and sampling five distinctive styles of beer. 

The show is “a joyous experience - punctuated by myth-busting facts, light-hearted history, global culture and beery philosophy - all which will leave you stimulated, entertained, and enriched by an unexpected education.”

The 5 Women of Beer hail from some of Victoria's finest craft breweries, Red Hill, Mountain Goat, True South, Hargreaves Hill & Bridge Road. A selected beer from each of these breweries will feature for tasting in the show.

9pm Friday 4th March 2011
$40 for show & beers
Doors open 7pm for dinner featuring these breweries beers (extra$)

MAIBOCK 6.8% A COLABORATION BETWEEN RED HILL AND HARGREAVES HILLS

Great Australian Beer SpecTAPular

The Local Taphouse asked breweries in Australia to create a special beer for the GABS event, to be held on Sat 12th Feb. Dave (Red Hill) and Simon (Hargreaves Hills) put their heads together and over a few beers decided to do a collaborative brew for the event.

We were looking to brew something not brewed or tasted fresh in Australia before, something traditional, European and an elegant beer. We decided to create a Maibock. After we worked out a recipe we kicked the other brewers out the brewery at Hargreaves Hills. Beer was brewed by Dave and Simon at Hargreaves Brewery with a healthy amount of beer sampling, arguing and “your doing it like that?”.

The Maibock has been filtered, dry hopped, and tasting spectacular, it'll be available at the Taphouse on Feb 12th, and from the 17th Feb at Red Hill Brewery and Hargreaves Hill (Yarra Glen)

The best one chosen by Dave and Simon over a few pints of Maibock will win the prize. Remember Maibock is a German bier, classic style 6.8% and Brewed by Red Hill and Hargreaves Hill. The name of the brewers is Two Hills, the name of the beer is Maibock. You have to send us the image file in a size that could fit on a bar tap, and we will use it on our taps whilst the beer is being served. Entries close 16th February.
