‘Tis the week before Christmas and we’re getting very, very excited. As we count down the days before Santa makes his grand entrance, we reflect on all the beer-worthy moments we’ve had this year, and my goodness, there’s been a few….
We partnered with UK-born rock music festivalDownloadin Sydney and Melbourne. With heavyweightsSlayer,Alice In ChainsandJudas Priestall topping the bill, it was a huge tick off the bucket list! We decked out a bus, dubbed it ‘Metal Machine’ and took our metal mates to the festival in style. One of our best ideas so far, check out some highlights below.
We headed to Berry forFairgrounds Festival, bringing with usThe Pinheadsto headline the Windmill Stage. Huge vibes, stunning weather and cold beers enjoyed with mates, all weekend long.
OurBest Served Loudmotto turned into a live music series in VIC. Visiting some of our favourite live music venues, Best Served Loud showcased the best in local talent with bands likeHobsons Bay Coast Guard,Dumb Punts,Pinch Points,Jade Imagine,Fraser A. Gormanand heaps more all serving it loud at our monthly free parties.
We debuted ourRock & Roll Circusin Melbourne. FeaturingSloan Peterson, Chrissie Aubry (Batz), Ben Marwe (Bad//Dreems), Jae Laffer (The Panics) and stacks more performing classic rock & roll covers, backed by the YH house band - Monte & Elliott ofThe Delta Riggs, Jack Moffitt ofThe Preatures& Adam Della Grotta. Spirits were high as punters piled intoNorthcote Social Clubon a Wednesday night and witnessed one of our biggest Melbourne shows to date.
We supported a tonne of bands hitting the road to tour across the country. Thanks for having usDZ Deathrays,The Pinheads,Lime Cordiale,VOIID,The Delta Riggs,Crocodylus,Pagan,Totally Unicorn,Ball Park Music,Johnny Hunter,The Cherry Dolls,Los Tones,Nick Nuisance & the Delinquents,BATZ,Rosa Maria,You Am I,The Dead Love,Seaside,Hot Glass,PLANET,Polish Club,Scabz& all the other legends we sunk tinnies with at gigs this year!
We were bloody stoked to become the official beer ofSouth Sydney Rabbitohs! To celebrate, we released a super limited long-sleever, with the help of local illustrator and bestieSindy Sinn. We even re-skinned our belovedNatty Lager tinniein the lead up to the footy finals.
Our mates atVolcominvited us to sling tinnies at their ‘uge party atThe Pink Hotelin Coolangatta. Pro skaters swarmed the place, taking turns skating a half-pipe on the roof, whileEzra Leeserenaded fans on a grand piano inside. A truely insta-drooly affair.
TheNewtown Jetstook home two massive victories - 2019 Canterbury Cup NSW Premiers and 2019 NRL State Championship Winners - both games won in last seconds from a freakishly good kick from Billy Magoulias. Who said lightening doesn’t strike twice?
Our rock star brewers churned out five new additions to our Brewer’s B-Sides Collection following some wacky, yet successful experiments:
We declared aSummer of Stayershining light on a staff favourite,Stayer. A gentle beer for gentle people who care about having a good time whilst ensuring that their good time doesn’t ruin the good time of others.
Joining forces with palsFBI Radio, we showcased some of Sydney’s finest emerging talent through ourIndependent Playseries. Hosted at FBI Radio HQ, the series welcomed artists likeBachelor Pad,Jessica Jade,Stevan,Yibby,Shady Nastyand most recently100to play an intimate set over a few afternoon frothies.
We sipped Lageritas at theMuseum of Contemporary Artfor our Sounds on the Terrace series. The free mid-week party featured lush performances from local artists and stunning harbour views.
Plus, we were cheersed at over 1000 events Australia-wide! A big thank you to everyone who we’ve had the pleasure of working with this year. Proudly independent, let’s bring on 2020!
