There’s so many beer events on in Brisbane at the moment that we will drop Hump Day back to once a month. This means we’ll only have two more Hump Days before Christmas, October 10 and one in November, on the 14th.
For those who haven’t joined us for a Hump Day tasting, these are very informal tastings in which we sample a selection of new or interesting (or new andinteresting) beers in the comfort of the lounge room-like Kerbside Bar in the Valley. They are great fun and very relaxed and feature five beer samples, some finger food and some good beer chat. There's also plenty of lucky door prizes.
They are an easy way to sample a range of beers and get a feel for the styles of beer that are available, and to see what you like. We kick off at about 5.30-5.45pm and, for those keen to get home, generally finish by 7.15pm. (Or not if you wanted to become more familiar with Kerbside's extensive bottled beer list).
The next Hump Day will see us head off to Denmark for some beers from Danish craft breweries, Beer Here and Norrebro.
We will be trying the following:
Beer Here
- Wicked Wheat 4.7% This is a wheat beer, but not your average yeasty mess. This kitten's got claws. Boldly hopped with Citra
- Dead Cat – Single Hop Amber Ale 4.7% Hopped exclusively with American Simcoe – giving pine needles, melon and catty notes to the caramel base
- Executioner IPA 7.0% Flavoursome, yet thirst quenching . Light caramel backbone with a grapefruit and citrus edge
- Sod – Baltic Porter 7.5% A pitch-black porter brewed with a dash of smoked malt. Roasty bitterness, cocoa and smoke highlights
Norrebro
- Kings County Brown Ale 5.5% A deliciously dark, medium body, fruity ale with the scent and taste of nuts, chocolate and dried fruits.
I hope to see you there.
When: Wednesday, 10 October at 5.30pm for 6pm Where: Kerbside, Constance Street, Fortitude Valley Cost:$30, includes five samples and finger food
