Good Beer Week 2016 Event Focus: Orientbeering

Answered by: Hania Glapa, marketing and promotion

What will make your event(s) stand out from all of the rest on offer at Good Beer Week? We are bringing together five venues for one big event, and we're all within walking distance of one another in our Lygon Street Brunswick East hub. Orientbeer-ees will get five unique beer experiences matched with food offerings at each venue.

Why do you think Australians are starting to favour boutique and craft breweries over mainstream beers? People have realised that beer is not black and white. With so many elements that can be varied, people are now excited to see what different combinations of hops, malts and varying techniques can produce. Craft beers explore this well.

What exactly do you think makes a good beer? Hard question. Many aspects! A full flavour regardless of style, good colour and correct carbonation, a comfy chair, a warm bar and some good music.

When and where are the event(s) you have planned during Good Beer Week? Orientbeering takes place 14 - 22 May at FIVE venues; The B.East, Eydie's, Thunder Road Brewing, Temple Brewing Company & Atticus Finch.
