Sydney Beer Week – where to go in Sydney

Beer cheers

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.
