Wattleseed Stout Beer Launch

Overview

Melbourne-based beer-lovers, here's a meeting of minds you'll be very excited about. Celebrated brewery Stomping Ground has teamed up with boutique bottle shop Blackhearts & Sparrows and pioneering Indigenous-owned food business Mabu Mabu to create a new collaboration brew. And it's wintry beer perfection.

Introducing, the trio's latest project — a warming Wattleseed Stout celebrating local flavours and cool weather. The drop is getting a proper welcome, too, with a launch party firing up Blackhearts' Collingwood venue Perry's on Friday, July 8.

Here, you'll have the chance to taste-test the newcomer, while sipping your way through a full Stomping Ground tap takeover. Plus, four of the evening's beers will have clever food pairings, designed by Mabu Mabu chef-owner Nornie Bero — think, tartlets of leek, native currant and bunya dukkah, and saltbush lamb cutlet matched with warrigal green salsa verde. Meanwhile, you'll get to chat to all the people involved in the new brew and DJ Ingrid will be spinning tunes throughout the night.

Tickets are $28, which includes entry, a can of the Wattleseed Stout and a selection of small plates.
