Surf, Suds & Sumptuous

Overview

Tucking into some seafood, fried potatoes and a cold brew: if that's not a summer tradition, then we don't know what is. To be fair, given the sunshine and heat Brisbane is blessed with for most of the year, it's an all-the-time tradition really. A fancy version of fish, chips and beer, though? Well, that's something special.

Trust Newstead Brewing to give an old favourite a new twist at Surf, Suds & Sumptuous. Following in the footsteps of their previous seasonal food-and-booze pairings — aka Weird, Wild & Wonderful and Dank, Dark & Delicious — they're making the most of the hot, hot, hot climate and giving us what we're all craving.

Tickets cost $80, making it the most expensive fish and chips you've ever had in your life; however once the eating and drinking extravaganza kicks off at 6pm on January 17, we're guessing that you'll think it is worth it. Diners will be treated to four dishes featuring fresh local catches, including crab and ocean trout. And, in yet another tradition, each round will be paired with Newstead Brewing Co beers, with a first taste of their brand new beverage The Nundah also on the agenda.
