It's the time of year where chances are you'll lose hours in a beer garden laughing, eating and drinking with friends. Whether it's one of those perfect, bright days hovering around 30 degrees with a bit of a breeze, or a steamy one that makes you appreciate the cool blast of air-cons, or (god forbid) a week-long heatwave that makes you feel like the earth (or your body) is going to spontaneously combust at any moment, rest assured that Aussie pubs are ready for you to walk through their doors — and often straight out the back into their courtyard or garden!
What's better than sharing good food — be it just your simple but satisfying traditional pub grub, some lighter dishes for the warm weather, or fun finger foods — with friends, while holding a cold bevy in your sweaty hand? Don't even think about answering that question, because it's rhetorical; nothing's better than that. NOTHING. We bet all you can think about is shovelling and pouring tasty solids and liquids down your gullet now, eh? Gather your pals and go forth.
Without further ado, we present to you our Pub Grub Summer Guide (ordered by state and alphabet for your convenience). The print edition of the Summer Guide is on the streets now in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
