🎉 GUESS THE WESTIES 2026 (AT HOME EDITION) 🎉

International IPA Day lands on the first Thursday in August, and we are celebrating the only way hop lovers know how: with a West Coast IPA showdown!

We have lined up four of our favourite West Coast IPAs in a mystery four-pack, but there is a twist. Every can is blacked out, stripped of its identity, and numbered. Your mission? Taste them all, scan the QR code, cast your vote for your favourite, and take your best guess at what is inside.

👉 All votes registered will go in the draw to win a mixed case of the very same IPAs you tested!

Last year, Seven Mile West Coast IPA reigned supreme yet again. Can another beer knock it off its perch this year? Only one way to find out. Grab a four-pack and play along!

THE BEERS IN THE FIELD:
🌲 Seven Mile WCIPA
🌲 Boxer IPA
🌲 Crafty Monk IPA
🌲 Sea Legs WCIPA

If you would rather get social, head down to Saccharomyces Beer Café on Thursday and try your luck with the same challenge on tap. Plus, they will be pouring three mystery Hazy IPAs and three Red IPAs for you to crack!

WEST FEST. STOP. 10 TAPS OF WEST COAST-INSPIRED BEER. STOP. AUGUST 8TH FROM MIDDAY. STOP. 🤠🍺🌵

Well butter my biscuit, slap my chaps and call me Ol’ Sudsy Britches.

We’ve just received word by official telegram that, effective Saturday August 8th, the Working Title Brewpub is to be temporarily converted into the finest dang saloon this side of the Brisbane River. How the message arrived remains a complete mystery, as does the location of our nearest telegraph office.

As instructed, we’ve saddled up ten taps of West Coast-inspired beer, including five brand spankin’ new Working Title releases, before recruitin’ a posse of some of Australia’s finest hop slingers to help us hold down the frontier.

🤠 The Posse:
🍺 @kicksbrewing
🍺 @futurebrewingsyd
🍺 @bracketbrewing
🍺 @slowlanebrewing

And of course, every frontier town needs a few folk with paint on their hands instead of gunpowder. So we’ve enlisted trail boss @mechanicalpen_ and fellow trail hand @deimos_skateboards to round up a wagonload of local artists whose cowboy-inspired works will adorn the saloon walls for COWBOYS – A Group Art Show.

Plus, camp cook Kenny has been tendin’ the chuckwagon and rustled up three frontier-worthy specials:
🧀 Laoganma Mac ‘n Cheese
🍔 Ranch Hand Chicken Burger
🔥 Buffalo Wings

So hitch up your horse. Dust off your boots. Mosey on down. Belly up to the bar. Wet your whistle. Tip your hat to strangers. And kindly refrain from spitting into the pot plants.

Tables won’t last long, so best stake your claim early via:

Whoa, did you say 3 Fonteinen on tap on the Ekka public holiday? Yeah baby, we sure did. Six kegs of lambic goodness from the gods of lambic. Check out this lineup:

OUDE LAMBIK
3 Fonteinen Oude Lambik is the result of a specific brewing process with a high proportion of unmalted wheat, spontaneous fermentation in an open coolship, and slow and complex fermentation and maturation in oak barrels of different sizes and shapes. This beer is completely flat as the carbonation evaporates through the wooden staves. 5.0%

OUDE KRIEKENLAMBIK
Macerating hand-picked whole sour cherries on young lambic for at least 4 months. 1kg of fruit per litre of lambic. Then blended again with more young lambic to obtain a minimum intensity of 35% fruit, packaged immediately after second blending. 6.0%

RABARBERLAMBIK
This Rabarber is the result of a six-month barrel maceration of local rhubarb, of which a small part was sourced with a Halle resident but most comes from De Groentelaar, one of our cereal farmers (and also specialized in organic vegetables, fruits, … and rhubarb). We used two different lambikken from two different barrels, equally split between a young lambik for macerating and a two-year old lambik for blending. The final fruit intensity is 328 grams of rhubarb per litre of Rabarber. 5.0%

NOCTURNE
Atypical for 3F, it is their spontaneous interpretation of an Oud Bruin. Only darker malts used, aged for years on barrels. 7.3%

HONINGLAMBIK
This lambik was taken straight from foeder n°52, a 6,000 litre barrel, originating from the Barolo region. This barrel held two lambik brews from 2019. During the cooldown, we infused the lambik wort with honey. 8.1%

PRUIMENLAMBIK
For this Oude Pruimenlambik, we macerated Conducta and Belle De Louvain plums on young lambik for more than five months. The plums originate from a small old orchard in Flemish Brabant, some 30 kilometres from our brewhouse. All cereals are sourced in Pajottenland. The lambikken originate from two different barrels and four different brews. The final fruit intensity is 417 grams of plums per litre of Oude Pruimenlambik. 6.4%

Book a table, enjoy the awesomeness! https://mybeerdealer.com.au/alfred
