Beergustation at Benchwarmer

Overview

Craft beer fans, get excited. For one night only, West Melbourne's Benchwarmer is teaming up with New Zealand brewery Duncan's to host a five-course dinner with paired beers.

On Thursday, June 13, punters can descend on the small bar to find Duncan's Owner and Head Brewer George Duncan talking through each of his brews, from lagers to sours and stouts, including stories about how each of them came about.

The Benchwarmer team will then slide on in with food that's made to be paired with each beer. Expect contemporary and playful izakaya-inspired dishes like karaage chicken, kingfish gyoza, kimchi arancini, kangaroo tataki and miso caramel-glazed doughnuts.

Tickets for the one-night event come in at $75 a head, which includes both the food and bevs. If you're keen to attend, be sure to gather your mates quickly — there's only one seating at 6.30pm and tickets are highly limited.
