Australian Heritage Hotel’s 100th Birthday Party
Cheers to one of Sydney's oldest and most iconic establishments, a century young this week.
Overview
Art and beer are truly important things. Australian art and Australian beer? Even better. The Australian Heritage Hotel in The Rocks will be celebrating its 100th birthday this Friday with a specially brewed craft beer and its inaugural Aussie Art Prize.
The Australian relocated to its current address on Cumberland Street in the 1900s after being ruined by The Plague. The Plague is just the worst. The Hotel has operated and remained undisturbed for 100 years, becoming one of the oldest and most iconic establishments in Sydney — and one of the original drinking spots in the country.
The Australian has always been a proud supporter of local brewers, launching the Annual Australian Beer Festival in 2004 and stocking over 130 boutique Australian brews. As part of the big ol' beery festival, the lovely crew at The Australian brewed and released their own special edition Rocks Lager to mark the centenary. Attendees of the festival were encouraged to brew a one-off heritage beer in honour of the 100 year milestone. Plus, for the 100-year date, The Australian is encouraging local artists to submit their interpretations of the theme 'Icons of the Rocks'.
Cheers.
