Rise N' Brine 2022
Enjoy pickle beers, pickleback slushies, pickle-eating competitions and pickled food at The Oxford Tavern.
Overview
Petersham's Oxford Tavern is going full sour this spring — and not just with its beers. The Rise 'N Brine festival will return for a fourth iteration, taking over the pub for a jam-packed day of pickle-themed food, booze and even entertainment from 12pm on Saturday, November 19.
To start off, the bar will offer a few pickle-flavoured brews, which have been whipped for the day by local craft breweries. Garage Project is serving up the Pickle Beer sour specifically for the occasion, while Grifter Brewing's C-Boogie Cucumber Kolsch will be on tap for the day. Other booze options include a pickle-y cocktail menu, which features a slushie version of the classic pickleback — aka a shot of Jameson chased with pickle juice.
The pickleback will also be given the spotlight with a delicately curated shots menu created by The Oxford Tavern's Odd Culture sibling The Duke of Enmore. Not one to shy away from a pickleback, The Duke has pulled together a range of Jameson expressions and house pickle brines that can be mixed and matched to create your dream pickleback.
The pickling doesn't stop there, either. The pub has also created a special menu of pickle-inspired eats to tuck into courtesy of Head Chef John Hockey. Pickle-brined chicken wings, loaded pickle fries, hot fried pickle sticks and a chocolate brownie topped with pickle cream will all grace the one-off Rise N' Brine menu.
There's also a whole heap of pickle-based entertainment throughout the day. The main event is the pickle-eating competition, plus there'll be live bands and DJs including Papa Pilko and The Bin Rats.
