Two-and-a-half hour's drive north of the city, Echuca's American Hotel will really be living up to its name when it hosts this free MFWF event loaded with deep southern charm.
It's throwing open the doors and firing up the smokers for a good ol' car park party that's set to kick on all-day long. You'll find yourself chowing down on a menu of US-style barbecue fare, enjoyed outdoors on big communal tables.
The bar boasts a famously great rotation of craft brews all year round, but for this meaty occasion it'll also be whipping up a range of sips made with small-batch bourbon — yep, you're in for the ultimate comfort food feast.
The soundtrack's set to be a banger, too, with live R&B acts and DJ-spun vinyl tunes sprinkled throughout the day.
Rhythm & Booze is part of Melbourne Food and Wine Festival. Check out more of the festival's events here.
