Overview
If alcohol appreciation is your thing, this festival has your name written all over it. Top Shelf focuses on the best of the best when it comes to beer, wine and spirits, so whatever your tipple of choice may be, there’s something for every taste. The weekend of festivities is all about fun, learning a few tips and tricks along the way, and our favourite two works in the English language: free samples!
There will be a number of guest speakers, panel discussions and demonstrations for those looking to maximise their experience. Whether you want advice on how to open a bar, tips for brewing your own beer, or are after some killer cocktail recipes for your next dinner party, there’s an event for you at Top Shelf. A few of the top guests for the weekend include New York’s PDT royalty Jeff Bell and Jim Meehan; company mixologist with William Grant & Sons, Charlotte Voisey; The Gin Queen herself Caroline Childerley; as well as local heroes Daniel Lemura from The Noble Experiment; and Bad Frankie’s Seb Costello.
You'll be well covered on the dinner front as well, with food vendors such as Huxtaburger, Meatmother and Frencheese on hand to help soak up some of the alcohol. Just make sure you leave room for boozy macaroons for dessert.
Tickets to Top Shelf are $25 online until 10am Friday, or $40 on the door.
