Hawkers Brewery Circus
For Good Beer Week, Hawkers Beer is turning their Reservoir brewery into an indoor big top.
Overview
You'd expect plenty of shenanigans to occur in a brewery. When you're crafting tasty brews, something fun has to happen — right? Whatever beverage-sipping visions might pop into your head when you're pondering what would be most folks' dream workplace, circus probably isn't one of them. Let Hawkers Beer show you otherwise.
After turning their Reservoir site into a Brewery Cinema for last year's Good Beer Week, they're taking inspiration from the big top for their 2017 event. A host of Melbourne circus artists will take over the space from 7pm on May 13, serving up a showcase of tumbling, flipping, flying and juggling antics. Yes, the latter will involve throwing beer into the air.
As well as the once-off display by performers who have worked with Cirque Du Soleil, Circus Oz, Circa, NICA and NIDA, Hawkers will wander around sculptures, grab a bite to eat from an array of food trucks — and knock back brews, of course. Tickets cost $130 per person, but this really isn't the kind of thing that you see every day. A bit of advice: just don't have a few drinks and try to bust out some tricks of your own.
