March 2026

FRI 13 MAR – BRISBANE – Reckless Brewing: The Hazy Pale Wheel of Wonder @ Saccharomyces / 4-6pm

The legends from Bathurst are hitting the lane to launch their brand-spanking-new core range Hazy Pale, and they are bringing a very specific piece of Central West culture with them.

We’re celebrating the launch of the Reckless Hazy Pale with a high-stakes game of chance: The Wheel of Wonder.

How it works: Buy a glass of the new Reckless Hazy Pale, and you get to spin the wheel. It’s that simple.

What can you win? There are prizes galore up for grabs, including fresh merch and free rounds.

But the real prize? The absolute pièce de résistance? The Junktion Prize. Local Reckless Brewing Representation, Luke has been scrounging through “The Junktion” (the Bathurst tip shop) to find unique, one of a kind treasures. If the wheel lands on the Junktion Prize, you take home a random piece of Bathurst history.

The Fine Print: The Junktion prize is non-transferable, non-refundable, and MUST be taken home. You cannot leave it at the bar. You cannot “forget” it in the lane. It belongs to you now.

Come down from 4:00pm to 6:00 pm on Friday, March 13 to be among the first to taste the newest core beer from Reckless and potentially go home with the weirdest souvenir of your life.

See you at the wheel! 🎡🍻

SAT 14 MAR – BRISBANE – Local Beer Day @ Saccharomyces / 12-10pm

April 2026

WEDS 1 APR – BRISBANE – Delirium Day @ Saccharomyces / 3-10pm

This is no April Fool’s joke: the famous pink elephant is returning to the lane! 🐘💕

We’ve managed to secure three distinct brews from one of our favourite Belgian icons, so we’re turning the first Wednesday of April into a celebration of all things Delirium.

Whether you are a die-hard fan of the classic Tremens or want to explore the darker side of the elephant, get down the lane on Wednesday, April 1 for a mid-week Belgian break.

ON THE TAPS
🐘Delirium Tremens (8.5%) The flagship pale blond ale. Fine, regular carbonation leads to a stable head and spicy, malty aromas. It offers a warming palate with a beautifully rounded mouthfeel and a long-lasting, dry, bitter finish.
🐘Delirium Argentum (7.0%) A specialty amber ale originally brewed for the 25th anniversary of Tremens. It’s full-bodied and intense with a touch of caramel, balanced by spicy, citrus-like bitterness and a fresh, complex aftertaste.
🐘Delirium Nocturnum (8.5%) The dark side of the elephant. A deep brown-red triple with notes of roasted malt and chocolate. Expect an initial softness on the tongue followed by an increasing bitterness and a perfect balance between sweet and sour.

THURS 2 APR – BRISBANE – Dessert Beer Takeover @ Saccharomyces / 12pm onwards

Easter is coming, but before we pull the pin for the holidays, we’re going all in on the sugar at Sweet As Thursday!

We’ve curated a lineup of the most indulgent brews we could find. Think thick pastry stouts, fruit-heavy smoothie sours, ice-cream beers, and rich chocolate ales. If you like your beer as sweet as your treats, this is your day.

In true holiday spirit, we’ll be slinging a limited number of chocolate eggs to use as glassware. Yes, you can get your beer poured straight into a chocolate egg for the ultimate decadent experience.

This is your last chance for a Sacch fix before the Easter public holiday closures, so don’t miss out on the sugar-fueled celebration. Join us down the lane on April 2 to kick off the long weekend in style.

Stay tuned for the full tap list! 🍫🍻
