GOOD BEER WEEK IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT
It might be officially over but that doesn't mean you can't still enjoy Good Beer Week Virtual Festival and all the great things you missed.
We've collated what's still available to watch and buy. Create your own Good Beer Week at home, with cooking classes, virtual tastings, industry discussions and even a wrestling match in a brewery.
Wolf of the Willows Cooking With Beer
Wolf of the Willows have two great Cooking with Beer Sessions, with recipes and videos. The first is how to make easy no-knead bread using its XPA, and the second is a beer-can chicken, also with the XPA.
Maybe combine the two for some amazing chicken sangas?
Beer Together
Beer Together has replays of comedy and cocktails. Damian Kos, from the 18th Amendment, in Geelong made a tequila cocktail using La Sirene Citra Sour.
Ian McNally (The Chosen Brew), teamed up with great Aussie comedians for a hilarious chat about the pub. And he and comedian Nick Capper presented "Have a Beer, Guess the Year", a brain teaser, that's perfect with a beer in hand.
AIBA: Isolation Edition
The Australian International Beer Awards is one of the largest beer awards in the world. Its iso-edition was a recap of the best of Australia over the last eight years. It features brewer interviews during a live ceremony. Not quite as formal as they usually are, but still a fantastic celebration of beer.
Moon Dog
Last year's Moon Dog and Melbourne City Wrestling Brewery Brawl was one of the most talked about GBW events. , culminating in an epic match between Avery and Session Moth Martinez that you have to see to believe. Fortunately, you can! Plus, a little more tame, but no less entertaining was How You Brewin' with Karl and Macca. A lovely chat, featuring special guest, GBW co-founder Miro Bellini.
Have a Beer With...
Missing GABS? Well the team have put together some Beer With videos, so you can hear from some of the great brewers who have visited GABS over the years. It features the likes of Bacchus, Garage Project, Kaiju, Dollar Bill, Mountain Goat, and More. Check out all the chats here.
Epiphany Beers
Blackhearts and Sparrows invited the head brewer of Stomping Ground and the founders of Sailors Grave to talk about their epiphany beers. The packs of six beers are still available, so check them out, and drink along at home with the crew.
Virtual Indie Beer Showcase Tastings
