It is the Saturday before Christmas, and the heat and humidity of Brisbane summer have well and truly turned the venue into a sweat box. It’s time to forget the ugly sweater and break out that ugly Xmas Singlet!

Get down the lane on Saturday, December 20th, in your finest ugly festive gear to celebrate the season with us. Our mates from Working Title are bringing the festive spirit to Sacch with their legendary Scrooged Xmas brews. These four brews are the liquid embodiment of nostalgic Christmas treats that will give even the most jaded grinch a taste of holiday happiness. Get in early and grab your Chrissy paddle of:

🍬🎄Hive 5.0% Candy Cane Sparkling Mead: Inspired by Santa’s secret stash of Arctic bees, this peppermint and icing sugar loaded sparkling mead is full of good hivings and holiday cheer.
🎄🎄The Place Beyond The Pines ’25 8.5% Pine IPA: Our 2025 Pines expression sees us return to spring pine tips on the hot side, with the addition of new, 1 and 2 year old toasted timber on the cold side. Sappy, herbal, and woody. It’s native pine in a glass.
🎅🎅Jingle All The Way 6.0% Christmas Cake Pastry Red: We’re risking it all to find that ultimate Christmas Cake Red Ale. Cinnamon, sultanas, raisins, cherries, currants, sherry, and cake, lovingly combined in a Pastry Red Ale.
🥃🥚Spirited 8.5% Eggnog Stout: How far can we go before we are deemed beyond redemption? Let’s find out with this massive milk stout, loaded with condensed milk, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, and brandy.

It is not just all great beer and questionable fashion. Sacch Santa will be on site as well to spread some festive cheer! The first 20 punters wearing an Ugly Xmas Singlet who buy a Working Title Scrooged paddle will score a limited edition Working Title Scrooged enamel pin to take home. The best (read: ugliest) festive outfit will walk away with the grand prize: a massive Working Title Scrooged Gift Pack!

We’ll be closed on December 24th, 25th, and 26th for a short holiday break, so this is your last chance for a massive pre-Christmas Saturday session. Catch ya down the lane!

A full day of sours, surprises and cinema fun. Join us in celebrating the launch of Scotty Doesn’t Know Sour in true Helios style.

Join us on Saturday the 20th of December from 6pm to get into the festive spirit. We’ll be having a Saturday night Xmas party to thoroughly ignore the three ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. Drink eggnog and dig into a Hellmouth roast (vg option included) and get a family photo with the Netherworld Santa!

We’ll be raising funds for fortitude valley charity 3rd Space throughout the evening – everyone that donates $10 or more will get our limited Krampus enamel pin designed by Nelson Gibbins.

We’ll be playing some festive and not so festive tunes, while we’ll also have a karma keg on to raise funds to those that need it most over the holiday period.

For those partial, we’ll have a room in Lost Souls available for non stop Christmas tunes all night!
3rd Space provide support to folks sleeping rough in the Fortitude Valley area. Follow their work via 3rdspace.org.au.
