🎡 ARCHERBITION 2025 🎡
Saturday August 16th | From 12pm | Archer Brewing, Wilston

It's that time of year again… the smell of dagwood dogs, the sight of fairy floss, and the faint sound of someone coughing on public transport. Yep, it's Ekka season, but we're doing it our way.

Welcome back to ARCHERBITION, all the good stuff of the Ekka, minus the long lines, chaotic parking, and post-Show sniffles.

We're transforming the brewery into our own carnival wonderland, with:
🍓 Our legendary Strawberries & Cream Sundae Beer (back and better than ever)
🌭 Dagwood Dogs & other Ekka-inspired food specials
🎯 A few carnival games and crafts throughout the venue
🍓 Strawberry margaritas
🎶 (TBC) Maybe some live music if we can bribe the right band with fairy floss…

It's family-friendly and guaranteed flu-free*.

Swing by from 12pm and get your Ekka fix without heading into the chaos

*Flu-free not legally binding. But we do wipe down tables.

Grab your passport for a hop-on, hop-off adventure through 7 independent Sunshine Coast breweries—7 breweries in 7 hours for just $25!

Participating breweries include:
-Sunshine Brewery *
-Young Giants Brewery Co
-Blackflag Brewing
-Coolum Beer Co *
-Terella Brewing
-Morts Brewing Co *
-Sunshine Coast Brewery

At each stop, enjoy exclusive beers crafted just for the day and get your passport stamped as you go.

Start your journey by showing your ticket to collect your lanyard, passport, and wristband—your all-access pass to the event and the hop-on hop-off bus circuit.

With multiple buses continuously looping between all 7 breweries, you can explore at your own pace—have a beer (or two), then jump back on the bus to the next destination.

Each brewery is independently owned, which means freedom to innovate. Whether it's a seasonal special, an experimental batch, or just something new the brewers are excited about, you're in for a unique tasting experience at every stop.

Discover the creativity of the Sunshine Coast's independent brewing scene—one beer at a time. 🍻

*bus starting points – potentially more depending on advance ticket sales. Tickets here.

Our annual exploration of wild, mixed culture and spontaneous beer, intricately curated with food from Sam's brain, returns for its inaugural reinstatement.

Against the odds, and the local Brisbane environs, the stupid stuff we did last year kinda, maybe, sort of worked. Fantastically outrageous, but here we are:

🌆 LAUNCH: Brisbane's first ever spontaneously fermented beer.
🦠 LAUNCH: Stainless ferment native yeast wild ale.
🍑 LAUNCH: peach mixed culture wild ale.
🌱 LAUNCH: 2025 Maleny captured native mixed culture wild ale.
🐝 LAST KEG: Original Hive made with native mixed culture.
🇧🇪 2025 Apricot Flanders.

Last year we surprised the establishment with spontaneously fermented beer on Doggett Street. They said it shouldn't be done, and they were probably right. So if your immunisations are up to date, have we got the experience for you. 6 courses of insane food, paired to 6 wild beers; it's a lot of firsts, a lot of crazy flavours and a lot of calling in sick that Friday.

Sam has developed an incredible menu for the night:
🍞 Hot honey damper
🦑 Firefly squid sashimi
🐷 Pork dumplings
🫘 Choripan w/ mustard mayo, hop oil chimichurri, potatoes
🦪 Abalone salad on chicken skin
🥮 Macerated fruit tart

It's challenging to describe just how pumped we are about this confluence of years of work. Meticulous experiments battling against our "seat of pants flying", patented technique. You don't have to be into any of this stuff to come and experience the dinner, but you will be by the time you're finished.

Tickets are $150 per person, with limited seating available. Visit www.workingtitlebrew.co/spon to secure your ticket.

For the first time ever, the legends from Gippsland, Goodland Beer, are taking their birthday party on the road, and their very first and only Queensland stop is right here at Saccharomyces Beer Cafe!

Born from a brewer's decade-long journey and travel through Europe, Goodland is known for a seamless blend of classic inspiration and modern craft brewing. They're all about making damn good beer—from their reliable core range to their more adventurous, genre-bending creations like their famously fun smoothie sours.

To celebrate four years of bringing their dreams to life, they're bringing the party to us. From midday on Saturday, August 23rd, we'll have six exclusive Goodland Birthday Beers on tap. These are special, limited-edition brews that have never been poured outside of their home state, making this your one and only chance in Queensland to try them.

So, get down here and raise a glass to four years of great beer!
