Netherworld Monster Menagerie Beer Festival 2023
Netherworld's annual celebration of beastly brews is back, this time focusing on red and black beers.
Overview
Like beer? Like monsters? Like your brews named after creepy critters, with bottle, can and label artwork to match? Horror-loving drinkers, there's never been a better time to pair your beverages with your fondness for all things scary — but from 12pm on Saturday, October 14 will be even better than usual thanks to Netherworld's Monster Menagerie Beer Festival.
The returning event, this year named Monster Menagerie VI: Beers of Blüdsbane, will bring together nine yeasty tipples, strange creatures and stellar collaborations, all for a day of boozing fun. And if you're wondering why it takes place in October, just think about it for a second. 'Tis the month of Halloween, after all.
The big focus in 2023: brews with a vampiric spin, and of the red and black variety. Taking part: 3 Ravens Brewing, Range Brewing, Sea Legs Brewing, Common Ground Brewing and Helios Brewing, plus Revel Brewing, Seven Mile Brewing, Working Title Brew Co and the delightfully named Hohly Water.
Tickets cost $35, which include a tasting paddle featuring 150 millilitres of each and every one of these beers, as well as a limited edition enamel pin and five game tokens.
