Brumalia Winter Solstice Beer Festival
Bacchus Brewing are resurrecting an age-old ritual and asking their friends to sacrifice one-off beers for the occasion.
Overview
The Ancient Romans knew how to party. Every winter, they threw a festival dedicated to nighttime feasting, drinking and merriment. You know, the good stuff.
Bacchus Brewing Co also knows how to party, and they're resurrecting this age-old ritual. It shouldn't come as a surprise — they are a beer-making company named after the Greco-Roman god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine. And they're taking that history and running with it.
That means an event dedicated to the best beverages one could get, although they're focusing on yeasty rather than vine-ripened goodness. To celebrate their fourth birthday, they've invited their brewer friends, both local and interstate, to come along and brew special one-off beers. There'll be 26 in total, plus food trucks and house pizzas to do the important job of lining the stomach. Yes, that means two whole days of all the ale you could ever imagine. Yes, you won't want to miss out.
