Boys’ night out at Bavarian Bier Cafe

If you and your mates are looking for something blokey yet  informative, reasonably priced and delicious, then we have just the thing for you.  The Bavarian Bier Café at Eagle St Pier is offering Bier Akademies where you can sit at the bar and be taught about the brewing process for five of the Pure German biers that are on offer. You will also learn trivial but awesome conversation-making facts like this: back in ancient times, Monks who abstained from food during Lent lived solely on bier. Also, bier is best served between 4 and 6 degrees Celsius.

For $35 per person, you and your mates sit at the bar with Sam, the resident bier expert who will take you through the brewing process and discuss aromas, taste, colour and all things bier-related with you. You get to sample five of the biers on tap – three lagers and two ales, learning about their origin and how they get to taste so damn good.

After your lesson you are brought tasting platters of some of the BBC’s best  Bavarian food including a freshly baked pretzel, chicken schnitzel, pork belly, three types of sausage, mash and sauerkraut.

The Bier Akademy would be the perfect precursor for a Buck’s night, a great ice-breaker with your future father-in-law, or an opportune way to win over your clients.

Girls – if you love beer, then by all means, you will also love this night out. It would also be the perfect way to treat your boyfriend on his birthday with something unexpected.
