As the calendar flips to mid-October, beer enthusiasts in Sydney have every reason to raise their glasses in cheer. Applejack is pulling out all the stops for beer lovers with a week-long celebration, offering special deals across three of their buzzing venues: Taphouse, Forrester’s, and SoCal.
Running from 18th to 25th October, this is the ideal time to rally your friends, indulge in delicious grub, and perhaps make a few pour decisions along the way.
Kicking off the festivities, Taphouse in Darlinghurst is hosting a Grifter Brewing Tap Takeover on Friday, 18th October. Starting at 6pm, beer aficionados can snag one of the 50 free schooners up for grabs — but be quick, as it’s first come, first served. Even if you miss out on the freebies, you won’t be disappointed. All night long, Grifter Pale Ale schooners are served at a special price of just $7.50. Throughout the week, Grifter’s taps will be flowing with a selection of four beloved brews, including the refreshing Grifter Pale Ale, the quirky ‘Serpents Kiss’ Watermelon Pilsner, the intriguing Kool Thing IPA, and the tangy Pink Galah Lemonade Sour.
But that’s not all Applejack has up its sleeve. They’ve teamed up with the local legends at Young Henrys to craft their first collaboration brew, ‘Hazy Love’. This tropical-inspired beer, with notes of toasted coconut and citrus, is a hazy New England IPA that promises the flavours of a Sydney summer. Donovan Binks, Applejack’s Group Beverage Manager, describes it as having a “smooth and creamy texture,” perfect for enjoying fresh.
Hazy Love is available at Forrester’s in Surry Hills, Taphouse in Darlinghurst, and SoCal in Neutral Bay. To mark the beginning of Sydney Beer Week, Forrester’s will host a bar shout from 3pm on Friday, 18th October, giving patrons the first sip of this limited-release brew.
Whether you’re a seasoned beer connoisseur or just looking for a fun night out, Applejack’s beer week celebrations promise a memorable experience filled with unique flavours and good company. So, gather your mates and head to Taphouse, Forrester’s, or SoCal to join in the fun and discover your new favourite brew. Cheers to great beers and even better times!
