Liquor lovers, prepare yourselves for a spirited affair at Cumulus Up in Flinders Lane. Coming to the CBD bar at the end of February, the Spirit Fair will celebrate some of the finest Australian small batches in the business. If you're looking to whet your whistle, this is the perfect place to do so.
Set to take place from midday until 4pm on Saturday, February 23, the event will cater to drinkers of every persuasion. While the lineup has not yet been announced, last year's event saw the likes of Fire Drum Vodka, Four Pillars Gin, Applewood Distillery and best whisky in the world winners Sullivans Cove. And yes, your ticket entitles you to a taste of everything on offer — as well as a welcome drink on arival.
You'll also get the chance to chat with many of the distillers about the best way to enjoy the boozy fruits of their labour. That's assuming you can string two words together, of course.
Snacks from the Cumulus Up kitchen should help soak up some of the alcohol, with your ticket including one dish — either a slow-roasted suckling pig roll or the bar's signature confit duck waffle.
