Newtown Hotel's Cider Fair 2015

Overview

For the second year running the Newtown Hotel will be quenching your thirst with a Cider Fair that celebrates your favourite apple-flavoured and bubbly beverage.

Alongside live folk music and delicious pork treats, the main event will be the 26 different varieties of local and international ciders on offer. If you're into discovering smaller local labels, you can head for Newtown's local brewers Young Henrys, Fog City Cider from Melbourne (known for their sangria-styled brews) or Willie Smith's 100% organic brew from Huon Valley, Tasmania. Bigger international names on the menu include Bulmers and Kirin, while an interesting international newcomer is Sidra Del Verano, brewed in the Basque region of Spain in San Sebastian.

On top of the Newtown Hotel's usual pub fare, pulled pork and cider rolls will be going for $12 and there will be performances from bluegrass-tinged folk artist Brother Jimmy, an inner-west mandolin player formerly of local band The Morrisons.
