Good Swill Hunting

Overview

For this year's Good Beer Week festivities, Taxi Kitchen invites punters to indulge in a little escapism at its sumptuous banquet inspired by a post-hunt feast. Think: long communal tables, merriment in abundance and a menu centred around a giant whole beast.

On Wednesday, May 19, the Fed Square restaurant hosts its Good Swill Hunting dinner, celebrating hearty winter fare and some cracking beers from across Australia and New Zealand. Diners will be treated to a grand spread from executive chef Tony Twitchett, running from canapes and terrine, to a whole pig — with crackling — and an apple tart to finish.

Each dish will be carefully matched to a tasty beer (or two), with the likes of Brooklyn Brewery's Pulp Art Hazy IPA, Panhead's Sucky Mon Mon Japanese lager and the golden sour ale by White Rabbit just some of those in the lineup. Craft Beer Ambassador Ryan Loft will play MC for the evening's festivities, and brewers from each label will be there to talk you through what you're drinking as you're drinking it.
