FRI 28 FEB – BRISBANE – One Drop’s 6th Birthday @ Saccharomyces / 12pm onwards
Break out the party hats and polish your pint glasses because One Drop is hitting the big SIX! For their sixth year around the sun, One Drop decided to go international. They hit up all their pen pals and brewed up six collaborations with their overseas mates. After celebrating at the brewhouse, One Drop are setting the birthday beers and celebrations Australia wide. We are stoked to be hosting the birthday in Brissy on Friday February 28.
The beers are secret until they get released at the brewhouse, so stay tuned.
