Keg & Brew's First Birthday

Overview

It's been a whole year since the lads at Surry Hills' craft beer-loving pub Keg & Brew opened their doors, so of course they're going to bloody celebrate.

Raising a glass to a year of weird and wonderful niche lagers, ales and pilsners, K&B are one of the best craft beer pubs in Sydney. They've invited their mates at Young Henrys and Batch Brewing for a tap takeover. The brewers and brewery reps will be hanging about the pub for you to grill about different beers — maybe they'll even sign a growler for you. To really get the most out of the K&B bar on their birthday, you can opt for the $5 Thirsty Thursday schooner specials — choose from the Batch American Pale Ale or Young Henrys Natural Lager.

There'll be plenty of nosh going around at the party, with two special dishes created for the night. First, the lobster nachos (such decadence, much wow), which features Young Henrys lager-poached lobster tail, five bean mix, mozzarella cheese, sour cream, tomato salsa and chives for $19. Alternatively, there's the lamb hot dogs, featuring lamb and rosemary sausages served with cucumber, Batch American Pale Ale braised soft onions, smoke paprika yoghurt and shoestring fries for $16.50.

Importantly, and most adorably, there'll be complimentary Keg & Brew birthday cupcakes. And even though it's the pub's birthday, they're giving out the pressies and prizes — you and three mates could win a personalised  tour of both Batch Brewing Co and Young Henrys breweries. Just enter the comp while you're sinking a few Natural Lagers in the pub.

HB K&B.
