Four Pillars Gin Nights Come to Bottle and Beast Pop-Up

In a must-do this weekend for anyone who thinks a lamb roast and a G&T make a winning combination, Four Pillars Gin will be temporarily combining forces with the Bottle and Beast crew to create a pop-up within a pop-up. From Thursday to Sunday, the Yarra Valley distillery's rare dry gin, which they describe as "a truly modern Australian gin" combining citrus with spice, will be the sole spirit on offer behind the bar, serving as an ideal aperitif before B&B's meat and Riesling main course.

Bottle and Beast is a summer pop up in Pyrmont open for just 65 days and closing March 31. Each night a different beast (from pig to lamb to goat) is lovingly cooked over fire and coals by Sydney chef Jared Ingersoll. There's an emphasis on ethically sourced, sustainably raised produce and a selection of yummy side dishes. Diners are encouraged to wash down their food with wine selected by Jason Hoy, whose aim this summer is to "bring Riesling back to the masses".

February 20-23 at 11 Pyrmont Bridge Road, Pyrmont. Call 0449 107 036 for reservations.
