Join us on the 20th of October for this month's Ale Stars, featuring special guest Co-Founder of Sailors Grave Brewing, Chris Moore!

What started as an escape from the city's noise to the great coastside of East Gippsland, has now turned into an award-winning brewery sailing strong, celebrating its tenth year of brewing!

Even after 10 years, Chris' philosophy stays the same: create b**r inspired by the ocean. Blending regional flavours with the distinct coastal character of its hometown.

Don't miss out on learning the history of this great regional brewery, plus getting to sample a fine selection of their b**r!

Freshly Tapped at the Tappy 👇

→ Future Brewing ‘Tiger Red’ Red DIPA (7.8%): Expect a saturated hit of ripe mango, juicy orange and tropical fruit, backed by classic citrus and resinous pine.

→ Bad Shepard Party Dad (5.0%): Soft and hazy with a big hit of tropical fruit and citrus, it delivers plenty of hop character without the heavy bitterness.

→ Bendigo Sandhurst Stout (5.8%): Rich, roasty and smooth with hints of dark chocolate, espresso and dark fruit. Perfect for those colder days by the fire.

We will be celebrating Oktoberfest the only way we know how… with B**rs! Shipped all the way from Germany, we’ll be tapping 15 tasty b**rs from breweries such as Weihenstephan, Rothaus, Früh, and many more.

The celebrations don’t stop at delicious b**rs. We will also be doing some mouth-watering Bavarian-style food specials, such as the classic pretzel.

We’ll even have a roaming Oompah band around from 2pm till 5pm, playing all the classic Oktoberfest drinking tunes!
